Resumen
El presente trabajo se hizo con la finalidad de comprobar si realmente los niveles bajo de Calcio son un predictor de Osteoporosis en grupo de personas comprendidas entre los 65 y 80 años. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación se extrajeron muestras de sangre en diferentes grupos que asisten al Centro Gerontológico Dr. Arsenio De La Torre Marcillo en distintos días de la semana. Se extrajeron 117 muestras de sangre que se obtuvieron de 103 mujeres y 14 hombres. Estas fueron llevadas al Laboratorio de Análisis Químico Clínico de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas. Las muestras fueron analizadas en el espectrofotómetro Genesys 20 utilizando el reactivo Ca Color AA para determinar Calcio Iónico en suero. Los resultados indicaron que ningún paciente presentó valores de Calcio en suero que estén dentro de los valores de referencia (8,5 - 10,5 mg/dl.). 92 pacientes presentaron valores de Calcio entre 6,5 y 8,4 mg/dl, y hubo 25 pacientes cuyos resultados arrojaron valores de Calcio en suero menores o igual a 6,5 mg/dl. Se les realizaron Desintometrías óseas a los 25 pacientes cuyos valores de Calcio fueron menores o iguales a 6,5 mg/dl. El 68% de los pacientes (17 personas) tuvieron resultados T -2.5, lo cual significa que éstos padecen Osteoporosis. La mayoría de los pacientes a los que se les diagnosticó Osteoporosis, pertenecen al género femenino. Estos resultados nos podrían confirmar que la Osteoporosis es más común en las mujeres, aunque también pueden estar sujetos al hecho de que en el estudio la mayoría de las muestras fueron extraídas a personas del género femenino; y que los valores bajos de Calcio, mayoritariamente si pueden predecir un diagnóstico de Osteoporosis.
This work was done in order to check whether the low levels of calcium really are a predictor of osteoporosis in a group of people between 65 and 80 years. To carry out this research blood samples were drawn in different groups attending at the Gerontology Center “Dr. Arsenio De La Torre Marcillo” on different days of the week. 117 blood samples were obtained from 103 women and 14 men were removed. These were taken to the Laboratory of Clinical Chemical Analysis of the Faculty of Chemistry. Samples were analyzed in the spectrophotometer Genesys 20 using the reagent Ca Color AA for determining Calcium Ion in serum. The results showed that no patients had serum calcium values that are within the reference values (8.5 to 10.5 mg / dl.). 92 patients had values of calcium between 6.5 and 8.4 mg / dl, and were 25 patients whose results showed lower levels of calcium in serum or equal to 6.5 mg / dl. Bone desintometries were performed at 25 patients whose Calcium values were less than or equal to 6.5 mg / dl. 68% of patients (17 people) had results T -2.5, which means that they have osteoporosis. Most patients who are diagnosed with osteoporosis, are female. These results could confirm us that Osteoporosis is more common in women, but may also be subject to the fact that in most of the study samples were drawn to people of the female gender; and that low levels of calcium, mainly can predict a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
