Determinar la correlación entre la depuración de creatinina estimada con la fórmula de Cockcroft-Gault y la medida en orina de 24h en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: El presente es un estudio retrospectivo, correlacional en el cual se incluyeron 90 historias clínicas de pacientes con DM tipo 2 atendidos en el consultorio de Endocrinología del HBT entre agosto del 2005 y agosto del 2007. La comparación entre la depuración de creatinina en orina de 24 horas y la estimada con la fórmula de Cockcroft-Gault se realizó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. RESULTADOS: La depuración promedio de creatinina en orina de 24h fue 79.8 ml/min. y la depuración promedio obtenida con la fórmula de Cockcroft–Gault fue 69.04 ml/min. Se encontró diferencia significativa entre los promedio de ambos métodos de manera global y en las mujeres, mas no ...

Introduction: is a clinical entity characterized by the presence of insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia associated with hydrocarbon metabolism disorders, elevated blood pressure, lipid abnormalities (hypertriglyceridemia, decreased HDL, LDL presence of type B, increased free fatty acids and lipemia postprandial) and obese, with increased morbidity and mortality of atherosclerotic origin. Objectives: To determine and compare the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and its components on a sample in from Trujillo city according to different definitions and its variation with gender and age. Material and method: A cross-sectional study was performed in Trujillo city between November 2007 and October 2009, including 443 adults (211 men and 233 women) between 20 and 79 years of age. We calculated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components according...
