Evaluación de alteraciones de la función tiroidea por el método Elisa y su relación con los factores de riesgo, en las docentes, empleadas y trabajadoras de la ESPOCH – 2019.

Abstract

The following investigation's objective was to evaluate alterations of thyroid function by the ELISA method and its relationship with the risk factors, in the teachers, employees, and workers of the ESPOCH -2019. The study was conducted in 110 women between 20 and 60 years of age, prior to the study a survey was applied that allowed to measure risk factors, for the beginning of the analysis, samples were taken by blood extraction by venipuncture, subsequently it was transported to the Laboratory of Clinical Analysis of the Faculty of Sciences of ESPOCH; For the determination of the hormonal levels (T3, T4, TSH) and the presence of antibodies (ANTI-TPE), for the processing of the samples, the quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of competitive and sandwich type was used. With the values obtained from each sample, it proceeded to the analysis of data using the Excel program by means of the CH12 independence test, inferring that risk factors had a significant effect on the results; in the cases where they showed dependence, it proceeded to the percentage analysis of those data, emphasizing the analysis of the percentage of the altered values to see their effect on the results. The results obtained showed that of the 100% of the studied population the altered values were; T3 (38.38%), T4 (42.82%), TSH (11.81%) and ANTI-TYPE (13. 64%), being related in all cases as risk factors "vices". Concluding that, if there are alterations at the thyroid level correlated to risk factors, it is recommended to call the population and promote routine immunoenzymatic medical checkups of the thyroid gland to prevent future pathological complications.
