Resumen
El presente trabajo de investigación es un aporte a la medicina basada en la evidencia, ya que durante mucho tiempo los científicos han relacionado el incremento de los niveles séricos de ácido úrico con las enfermedades cardiovasculares, atribuyéndolo como un factor que producen estas patologías, existiendo discrepancia entre diversos investigadores.
La investigación se realizó con 90 pacientes del género masculino y femenino, diagnosticados con enfermedades cardiovasculares, y edades comprendidas entre 18 – 80 años, estos pacientes residen en el cantón El Triunfo, de los cuales se les realizó pruebas de sangre en el Laboratorio Clínico Rivera, y se procedió a analizar mediante el método enzimático colorimétrico para detectar los niveles de ácido úrico.
Se hizo una clasificación general en 3 grupos etarios, de acuerdo a la Organización Mundial de la Salud, pacientes entre 18 – 35 años considerados adultos jóvenes, pacientes entre 36 – 64 años considerados adultos maduros y pacientes entre 65 – 80 años considerados adultos mayores, encontrándose que en el grupo de adultos jóvenes hay una mayor cantidad de casos de pacientes con hiperuricemia diagnosticados con enfermedades cardiovasculares, así también, el género femenino es quien predomina con el mayor número de casos de hiperuricemia y enfermedades cardiovasculares, siendo la hipertensión la patología que más afecta al grupo de estudio.
The present research is a contribution to evidence-based medicine, since for a long time scientists have linked the increase of serum uric acid levels with cardiovascular diseases, attributing it as a factor that produces these pathologies, and there is a discrepancy among several researchers. The research was carried out with 90 male and female patients, diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, and age between 18 - 80 years, these patients reside in El Triunfo, of which blood tests were performed at the Rivera Clinical Laboratory, and made with a colorimetric enzyme test for uric acid levels. A general classification was made in 3 age groups, according to the World Health Organization, patients between 18-35 years considered young adults, patients between 36-64 years considered mature and patients between 65 and 80 years considered elderly, Found that in the group of young adults there is a greater number of cases of patients with hyperuricemia diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, as well, the female gender predominates with the highest number of cases of hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases, hypertension being the pathology that more affects the study group.
