Resumen
Los trastornos de calcio son alteraciones en el metabolismo u homeostasis del calcio que conducen a una hipocalcemia e hipercalcemia, debido a la disminución o aumento en sus niveles en el organismo, el balance de Ca normal se mantiene gracias a la acción integrada de las hormonas calciotrópicas en el intestino, hueso y riñones implicados en la regulación del mismo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los trastornos de calcio en niños de edades entre
1 a 12 años atendidos en el Hospital Dr. Francisco Icaza Bustamante durante los meses de junio a diciembre del 2019. El universo lo conformaron 250 niños y niñas, de los cuales 115 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se determinó los niveles de calcio en suero obtenido a partir de la extracción de muestras de sangre utilizando el método colorimétrico de la o-cresolftaleín complexona. Según los resultados indicaron que el 36% presentaron valores dentro del rango de referencia (8,5 – 10,5 mg/dL); el 51%, valores bajos, y el
13%, eran altos. Además, se les realizó la prueba de calcio iónico a los que
presentaron valores bajos y altos, como método de confirmación del diagnóstico de los trastornos. En conclusión, en la investigación realizada, la tasa de incidencia de trastornos de calcio fue del 64% en niños de edades entre 1 a 12 años que participaron en el estudio.
Calcium disorders are alterations in calcium metabolism or homeostasis that lead to hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia, due to the decrease or increase in their levels in the body, the normal Ca balance is maintained thanks to the integrated action of calciotropic hormones in the intestine, bone and kidneys involved in its regulation. The objective of this work is to identify calcium disorders in children between the ages of 1 to 12 years treated at the Dr. Francisco Icaza Bustamante Hospital during the months of June to December 2019. The universe was made up of 250 boys and girls, of which 115 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, serum calcium levels obtained from the extraction of blood samples were determined using the colorimetric method of o-cresolphthalein complexone. According to the results, they indicated that 36% presented values within the reference range (8,5 – 10,5 mg / dL); 51%, low values, and 13%, were high. In addition, the ionic calcium test was performed on those with low and high values, as a method of confirming the diagnosis of the disorders. In conclusion, in the research carried out, the incidence rate of calcium disorders was 64% in children of ages between 1 to 12 years who participated in the study.
