Resumen

El desarrollo, valoración y uso de marcadores biológicos con un propósito diagnóstico en psiquiatría es sumamente importante. Sin embargo, con ciertas excepciones, todavía no han surgido marcadores verdaderamente sensibles y específicos. Para investigar la relación entre el aparato inmune y la actividad hipotalámico-pituitaria por una parte, y el estado psicopatológico de los pacientes por otra, utilizamos un diseño longitudinal y evaluamos parámetros de monocitos (HLA-DR, CD 35, filamentos de vimentín e índice de fagocitosis) y pruebas neuroendocrinas (prueba de supresión con dexametasona [DST] y prueba de estimulación de la hormona liberadora de tirotropina [TRH]) en la admisión y en el seguimiento en 49 pacientes deprimidos. Se compararon parámetros inmunológicos con pruebas neuroendocrinas en ambas fases del estudio. El uso combinado de pruebas inmunológicas y neuroendocrinas no añadió sensibilidad a la identificación inmunológica de los pacientes deprimidos. Los hallazgos nos llevaron a considerar el papel de los parámetros de monocitos como marcadores sensibles del estado depresivo, mientras que el uso combinado de pruebas neuroendocrinas e inmunológicas en la práctica clínica actual sería discutible.
