Relación entre la ingesta de calcio, fósforo y función paratiroidea en pacientes en hemodiálisis del Centro de Diálisis Contigo de la ciudad de Latacunga, 2015.

Abstract

The present research determines calcium and phosphorus intake and its relation with the parathyroid function in dialysated patients in the Dialisis Centre Contigo in Latacunga by means of a descriptive, cross sectional and non experimental study. The variables studied were the following: age, gendre, body mass index, hemodialysis, food intake of Ca and P and blood level of Ca, P and parathyroid hormone (PTH). All patients with hemodialysis treatment were included. Age and gendre were not important. The population was 104 patients, 52.9% of women and 47.1% of men, ages from 18 to 88 years old. 54% of them suffer of denutrition, 42.3% has normal-nutritional state and 2.9% has overweight. Blood levels of Ca and P are normal 74% and 26% is high. The treatment time of hemodialysis can vary from 1 month to 18 years. Positive diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism 20.2% and negative diagnosis 79.8%. The results gotten after 24 hours determined that 100% of patients do not accomplish with Ca intake, 4.8% has inadequate intake of P and 42.3% does not have a intake. These results established that it doesn’t exist a relation between food intake of calcium and phosphorus and parathyroid function alteration in patients with hemodialysis. Recommending control of Ca diary intake that are high porcentaje in phosphorus.
