Perfil lipídico y su relación con la glucosa basal de los pacientes que acuden al Laboratorio Clínico Smartlab de la parroquia San Carlos perteneciente al cantón Quevedo

Abstract

This research was carried out with the purpose of determining the lipid profile and its relationship with basal glucose in patients who come to the Smartlab laboratory in the parish of San Carlos in the canton of Quevedo. To achieve this, we worked with a descriptive methodology and also with a correlational research, with which we were able to determine the relationship between one variable and the other. The population consisted of 107 patients who came for Glucose, Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglycerides tests at the SmartLab Laboratory in the San Carlos parish. The results obtained showed that most of the patients were women with 64%, most of whom presented alterations in glucose, and the prevalence age was from 55 to 75 years old, most of whom presented alterations in the lipid profile. This research project was of great importance because it provided a great contribution to the field of health, generating more knowledge about the problems that can occur in patients who do not control their lipid profile by means of the correct basal glucose tests.
