Objective: To determine how often vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency occurs in patients with CKD on dialysis and to identify related clinical and epidemiological factors. Methods: This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study involving adults with CKD on dialysis for over 6 months. Measurements included serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, albumin, hemoglobin, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, and body mass index (BMI) over the past 6 months. Results: Of 332 patients, 76.51% had vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. Bivariate analysis revealed that peritoneal dialysis, [Mann-Whitney Z =8.9; (p = 0.000)], female sex, [Mann-Whitney, Z =2.5; (p = 0.0127)], and diabetic etiology, [Mann-Whitney, Z =3.725; (p = 0.002)] were significantly linked to lower vitamin D levels. Additionally, time on dialysis [Spearman, r= 0.22, (p = 0.0001)], BMI [Spearman, r...

Objective: To correlate the levels of thyrotropin with the levels of cholesterol and serum triglycerides in 250 healthy subjects and patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction with a minimum fasting of 8 hours. Methodology: Analytical methods: total cholesterol, triglycerides: Enzyme-colorimetric and Thyrotropin: ELISA immunoenzymatic. Results: Thyrotropin was found in healthy subjects 88,68% in men and 89,34% in women, in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 1,89% for men and 1,52% for women, as well as hypo 9,43% for men and 9,14% for women. Cholesterol in healthy subjects for men is 49,06% and in women 67,01%; in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 50,94% for men and 32,99% for women. Triglycerides in healthy subjects 69,81% in men and 62,44% in women, in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 30,19% for men and 37,56% in women. Conclusions: A correlation was found between ...
