Resumen
En la ciudad de Guayaquil, en el Hospital “Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón” se realizó un estudio en los pacientes Adultos de consulta externa y pacientes hospitalizados en el área de Cirugía y Medicina Interna, para determinar factores de riesgo como contribuyentes en cuadros de Hipotiroidismo.
El Hipotiroidismo es una afección en la cual la glándula tiroides no produce suficiente hormona tiroidea. Esta afección a menudo se llama tiroides hipoactiva, existiendo factores de riesgo que son altamente frecuentes, los mismos que pueden ser tratados y así prevenir complicaciones en cuadros clínicos comunes. (Harrison, 2012)
Son múltiples los factores de riesgo que predisponen a cuadros clínicos de hipotiroidismo, tanto hereditarios como farmacológicos, como consecuencia del cúmulo de estos factores tenemos la afectación con mayor frecuencia y velocidad de los pacientes estudiados. Es por esto que es de vital importancia determinar los factores de riesgo en Hipotiroidismo, ya que constituyen predisponentes básicos para aumentar la morbimortalidad de los pacientes con esta patología.
Dentro de los resultados encontramos cifras elevadas de pacientes con factores de riesgo que pudieron ser tratados de una manera preventiva y que pudieron evitar o a su vez proporcionar un campo más adecuado para el tratamiento de casos de hipotiroidismo en pacientes adultos.
In the city of Guayaquil, at the Hospital “Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón ”a study was carried out in Adult outpatient patients and hospitalized patients in the area of Surgery and Internal Medicine, to determine risk factors as contributors to hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This condition is often called an underactive thyroid, and there are highly frequent risk factors that can be treated and thus prevent complications in common clinical pictures. (Harrison, 2012) There are multiple risk factors that predispose to clinical pictures of hypothyroidism, both hereditary and pharmacological, as a consequence of the accumulation of these factors we have the affectation with greater frequency and speed of the patients studied. This is why it is vitally important to determine the risk factors in hypothyroidism, since they constitute basic predisposing factors to increase the morbidity and mortality of patients with this pathology. Among the results, we found high numbers of patients with risk factors that could be treated in a preventive way and that could avoid or in turn provide a more suitable field for the treatment of hypothyroidism in adult patients.
