Resumen
El hígado es el órgano de mayor tamaño dentro del cuerpo. Ayuda al organismo a digerir los alimentos, almacena energía y elimina toxinas y se le puede considerar el órgano central o más importante del metabolismo, ya que a él llegan todas las sustancias que se absorben de los alimentos y en él, se elaboran proteínas y se forman grasas a partir de los azúcares, así como también se encarga de la elaboración y recepción de las lipoproteínas
Existen muchos tipos de enfermedades hepáticas; algunas de ellas son causadas por virus, como la hepatitis A, la hepatitis B y la hepatitis C, otras pueden ser como resultado de medicamentos, venenos o toxinas o por ingerir demasiado alcohol. Los análisis como las pruebas de función hepática pueden comprobar si hay daño en el hígado o ayudar a diagnosticar enfermedades del órgano. Es por ello que en el presente trabajo se llevó a cabo un estudio para determinar la incidencia de afecciones hepáticas en los pacientes de 17 a 40 años atendidos en el Laboratorio Humberto Fajardo. Se pudo comprobar que del total de pacientes estudiados (70), un 54 % era del sexo masculino y un 46 % del femenino, y que el grupo etario de
24 a 29 era el predominante. Los exámenes que con mayor frecuencia se le realizan a los pacientes son las transaminasas TGO y TGP, a veces combinadas y, en ocasiones independientes. De los 70 pacientes estudiados, a 68 se le realizaron la determinación de TGO y a 62 la de TGP. La relación TGO/TGP permitió predecir que 11 pacientes del sexo femenino (35 %) y 10 del sexo masculino (34 %), presentaron valores superior a 1 indicativa de daño hepático por consumo de alcohol y que la edad de 30 – 35 años fue la de mayor prevalencia en ambos sexos. Los pacientes con relación TGO/TGP inferior a uno fueron superiores, (20 F (65 %) y 19 M (66 %), indicativos de la presencia de esteatohepatitis no alcohólica o hígado graso y el grupo etario predominante fue el de 24 a 29 años
The liver is the largest organ in the body. It helps the body digest food, store energy and eliminates toxins and can be considered the central or organ most important metabolism, since he come all substances that are absorbed from food and in it, proteins are produced and are fats from sugars and is also responsible for the preparation and receipt of lipoproteins Many types of liver disease; some of them are caused by viruses, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, others may be as a result of drugs, poisons or toxins or ingesting too much alcohol. Analyses such as liver function tests can check for liver damage or help diagnose diseases of the organ. That is why this paper conducted a study to determine the incidence of liver disease in patients 17 to 40 years seen in Humberto Fajardo Laboratory. It was found that the total number of patients studied (70), 54% were male and 46% female, and the age group 24-29 was predominant. Tests that most often is done patients are transaminases SGOT and SGPT, sometimes combined and sometimes independent. Of the 70 patients studied, 68 were performed to determine the TGO and TGP 62. SGOT / SGPT ratio allowed us to predict that 11 female patients (35%) and 10 males (34%) presented values of this more than 1 indicative of liver damage from alcohol ratio and the age of 30 - 35 years was the most prevalent in both sexes. Patients relative TGO / TGP less than one were higher (20 F (65%) and 19 M (66%), indicative of the presence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or fatty liver and the predominant age group was from 24 to 29 years
