vitamin D, enfermedad renal crónica, metabolismAbstract
Vitamin D has been associated with different effects unrelated to bone-mineral metabolism, such as its association with arterial hypertension. This study determines the prevalence profile of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in Ecuadorian patients, its epidemiological profile, and its relationship with other diseases such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. This is a pioneering study in Ecuador of a retrospective type, carried out at the Pablo Arturo Suarez Hospital over 6 months, in which it was found that the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency was 28.5% (levels between 21 to 30 ng/ml) and deficiency was 57% (levels less than 20 ng/ml); Likewise, we ratify the inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and age, as well as finding a certain association between vitamin D levels and the presence of arterial hypertension; while no significant differences were found in its relationship with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease without the use of renal replacement therapy and the general population.
