Item Parámetros hematológicos como apoyo diagnóstico para evaluar la anemia en edad adulta tardía(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-09-21) Chacón Molina, Erika Lisbeth; Rosero Freire, Daniela AlexandraAnemia in late adulthood is one of the most frequent alterations attributed mainly to the aging process and comorbidities, which is why the objective of this study was to identify the main hematological parameters that support the diagnosis of anemia in late adulthood. The methodology used was a bibliographic review carried out from original articles from databases such as: Medline, Scielo, BVS, ELSEVIER and Google Scholar, published in Spanish and English in the last 5 years. Through the results obtained, it was possible to determine that the main hematological parameter used for the diagnosis of anemia is hemoglobin and the mean corpuscular volume MCV that allow determining the existence of anemia, its severity and type. The most prevalent anemia was mild and of the normocytic type, which is associated with the presence of chronic pathologies. Once the investigation has been developed, it is concluded that the hematological parameters are fundamental for the diagnosis and identification of the type of anemia in the elderly, allowing to establish the appropriate treatment for it.Item Evaluación del síndrome metabólico a través de pruebas de laboratorio en adultos mayores del cantón Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-09-21) Freire Robalino, Jazmín Alexandra; Ramos Ramírez, Martha CeciliaThe metabolic syndrome is a group of alterations that involves an increased risk of suffering cardiovascular accidents, diabetes mellitus and is associated with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders, high blood pressure and overweight, especially in the elderly population. The present investigation seeks to evaluate the metabolic syndrome in order to characterize the clinical and sociodemographic parameters in older adults from the cantons of Atahualpa and Quisapincha in the city of Ambato. The laboratory parameters that were taken as part of this study are: fasting glucose, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, accompanied by blood pressure levels that are governed based on the diagnostic criteria proposed by the National Cholesterol Education Programs Adults Treatment Panel III. Report (NCEP -ATP III). The methodology used had a quantitative approach, allowing us to relate the clinical parameters with the laboratory tests, finding factors such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure levels as the main triggers of this syndrome in the elderly of these populations. They are directly related to quality of life, eating habits, age, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes and overweight.Item Importancia del laboratorio clínico en la detección de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en pacientes geriátricos(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-23) Laguatasig Moposita, Lissette Estefanía; Guangasig Toapanta, Víctor HernánDiabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a pathology of gradual progression, which generates multi-organ complications in vital organs and systems, due to the excessive increase in blood glucose (hyperglycemia), this carbohydrate is essential in the body for energy production in the form of ATP and maintains its balance thanks to the insulin secreted by the pancreas. In geriatric patients with DM2, this regulatory hormone dysfunction is due to the lack of response of the cells to it. The Clinical Laboratory Service has become the cornerstone for detecting, monitoring, and diagnosing pathologies of clinical importance such as DM2. The clinical laboratory tests used in the diagnosis of DM2 are: glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), fasting glucose (FPG), and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
