Determinación de la Prueba de Tolerancia Oral a la Glucosa en Mujeres con Síndrome de Ovario Poliquístico y su Relación con la Intolerancia a la Glucosa

Abstract

This research was performed at the “Hospital Provincial Docente Ambato’’ and Clinical Laboratory “San Gabriel’’, whose main objective was to determine the oral glucose tolerance test in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and relate with impaired glucose tolerance. For the selection of the study population the medical records of women diagnosed with PCOS were reviewed to verify that meet the inclusion criteria. Patients were invited to join the project after socializing the nature and purpose of it, was established to work with 32 women aged 19 to 65. Fasting plasma glucose and blood glucose at 2 hours post-glucose was determined, and a survey to participants was applied. In order to meet the project objectives, the types of research used were descriptive, correlational and transversal. The data obtained from the determination of the oral glucose tolerance test gave quantitative results and the application of the survey provided qualitative information. It was concluded that 21.9% (n=7) of the population had altered basal glucose values and 18.8% (n=6) of the population were glucose intolerant. And, 18.8% (n=6) of glucose intolerant women, 50% (n=3) of them also had impaired fasting glucose.
