Determinación de Lactato Deshidrogenasa y su relación con la Anémia Ferropénica en mujeres de 20 - 45 años de edad

Abstract

This research project was made in order to determine serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase and its relationship with iron deficiency anemia in women 20 - 45 years old who attended the Omega clinical laboratory located in Canton Ambato.

A type of correlational study in which 40 female patients who presented them participated iron deficiency anemia was made. Underwent blood collection for analyzing serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum iron included determination of hematocrit and hemoglobin to determine the existence of anemia, resulting in the total samples 25% are with Lactate dehydrogenase normal levels while 75% are with high values, whereas normal serum iron lie 25% 75% with higher values is observed.

As a result of complementary hematocrit values 100% have a low level of hematocrit, hemoglobin values has 100% below normal. In the same note that the LDH suffers an increase in the presence of iron deficiency anemia.

The hypothesis testing was performed using the statistical test for independent samples t student which gave a margin of error = 0,000 less than 0.05 which is the level of significance, thus rejecting the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis which mentions that high LDH levels are directly related to iron deficiency anemia in women
