Sažetak
Acromegaly is a rare condition (prevalence range is 2.8 to 13.7 cases/100, 000 people) characterized by the excess of the growth hormone (GH) and elevated insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), which is mainly attributed to a pituitary adenoma. The main symptom is gigantism, with concomitant conditions like sleep apnoea syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, debilitating arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, hyperhidrosis, and hypertension. The symptoms of acromegaly can be present up to 5 years before the diagnosis. The increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension around the globe shed a new light on acromegaly and nutrition. However, diet and the management of acromegaly with its concomitant conditions have not been properly researched. A systematic review of the available literature was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane, MedlinePlus, and Web of Science. The key words used for the search were: acromegaly, nutrition, and diet. The last search was conducted on March 25, 2017. Although limited, the following dietary recommendations for patients with acromegaly can be summed into: low consumption of sodium, high intake of unsaturated fatty acids, high intake of protein, and the consumption of a low glycaemic diet. Thus, we propose that defining a specific dietary approach for the patients could potentially alleviate some of the major symptoms of acromegaly.
