Resumen
Objetivo: Investigar los impactos de la desnutrición proteica y el uso de cannabidiol (CBD) sobre la función renal de mujeres embarazadas. Evaluar la acción del CBD, la influencia de una dieta con restricción de proteínas en el sistema renal de las gestantes y los factores de riesgo asociados. Revisión bibliográfica: Las proteínas son esenciales para el funcionamiento renal, especialmente durante el embarazo. La desnutrición proteica en gestantes está relacionada con el aumento del estrés oxidativo y de la inflamación, factores que pueden comprometer la función renal materna y afectar el desarrollo fetal. El CBD, un compuesto extraído de la planta Cannabis sativa, con propiedades antiinflamatorias y antioxidantes, ha sido señalado como un potencial agente terapéutico para reducir estos daños. El CBD actúa modulando el sistema endocannabinoide (SEC), reduciendo las citocinas proinflamatorias e inhibiendo vías inflamatorias. Su acción antioxidante ocurre mediante la neutralización de radicales libres, protegiendo así a las células del daño. Consideraciones finales: Aunque algunos estudios han demostrado propiedades fitoterapéuticas del CBD, su eficacia y seguridad durante el embarazo aún no están completamente comprendidas. Se requieren investigaciones experimentales y clínicas para esclarecer sus efectos y permitir intervenciones terapéuticas más eficaces.
