Correlación de alteraciones en pruebas bioquímicas para perfil renal entre los deportistas de la Federación Deportiva de Chimborazo y los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Intercultural Bilingüe Monseñor Leónidas Proaño.

Abstract

This research aimed to correlate alterations in biochemical tests for renal profile between athletes of the Sports Federation of Chimborazo and students of the Intercultural Educational Unit Monsignor Leonidas Proaño of the city of Riobamba. The study was performed on adolescents between 7 and 17 years of age in a population of 101 athletes and 30 students. With the informed consent of each person, the following data were collected: age, sex and sports discipline. Blood and urine samples were obtained, taking into account all the biosafety regulations; to be then transported in an appropriate manner and processed in the laboratory of Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis of the Faculty of Sciences of the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo for examination of urine, determination of urea, creatinine and uric acid. A statistical analysis was performed using t-student tests for independent samples to correlate results between athletes and students. The results show that urea presents 98% within the normal parameters, creatinine 98% and uric acid 100%. These data were taken before exercise. When subjected to a 1-hour training session, the following results were obtained; 94% urea, 92% creatinine and 99% uric acid. With these values, it can be said that the athlete, when subjected to physical effort, experiences changes in the biochemical parameters because the body responds to the effects of the activation of the hepatic system. When correlating between the 2 populations, it is concluded that the athlete suffers certain alterations at a renal level as urinary tract infections and alterations in the creatinine levels due to some factors, like the physical effort, hydration degree and the nutrition they are provided. It is recommended to perform more investigations similar to this where the same type of study population is taken into account in order to obtain statistical data that could contribute to future research.
