Abstract
La hemoglobina reticulocitaria es un nuevo parámetro dentro de los autoanalizadores hematológicos de cuarta generación, siendo indispensable en el diagnóstico y manejo de eritropoyesis deficiente en hierro, especialmente la deficiencia funcional de hierro, el secuestro de hierro y la deficiencia absoluta de hierro. Además, este parámetro demuestra ser más preciso que las pruebas bioquímicas como el hierro sérico, la ferritina y la saturación de transferrina, en la detección precoz de eritropoyesis deficiente en hierro. El objetivo de la investigación fue describir la utilidad clínica de la hemoglobina reticulocitaria (CHr) en el diagnóstico temprano de eritropoyesis por deficiencia de hierro absoluto en mujeres adolescentes. El tipo de investigación fue descriptivo, analítico, el diseño de campo transversal. La muestra voluntaria, no aleatoria estuvo constituida por 62 mujeres adolescentes con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 19 años. Como resultado se encontró que el 97% de la muestra tiene disminución de la CHr, indicando eritropoyesis deficiente en hierro, mientras que un 3% de las adolescentes presentan valores normales para la CHr, se realizó la relación diagnostica entre pruebas de laboratorio tales como CHr y el Hierro sérico. También se reportó que el 93% de la muestra presenta déficit de hierro sin anemia, y un 7% tiene anemia ferropénica, el rango de edad con mayor predominio de anemia ferropénica fue entre los 14 y 16 años. Se concluye que la CHr es de utilidad clínica y una nueva herramienta de diagnóstico temprano de eritropoyesis por deficiencia de hierro.
Reticulocyte hemoglobin is a new parameter within the fourth generation hematological autoanalyzers, being indispensable in the diagnosis and management of iron deficient erythropoiesis, especially functional iron deficiency, iron sequestration and absolute iron deficiency. Moreover, this parameter proves to be more accurate than biochemical tests such as serum iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation in the early detection of iron deficient erythropoiesis. The aim of the research was to describe the clinical utility of reticulocyte hemoglobin (CHr) in the early diagnosis of absolute iron deficiency erythropoiesis in adolescent females. The type of research was descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional field design. The voluntary, non-random sample consisted of 62 adolescent females aged between 14 and 19 years. As a result, it was found that 97% of the sample had decreased CHr, indicating iron deficient erythropoiesis, while 3% of the adolescents had normal values for CHr. The diagnostic relationship between laboratory tests such as CHr and serum iron was performed. It was also reported that 93% of the sample presented iron deficiency without anemia, and 7% had iron deficiency anemia; the age range with the highest prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was between 14 and 16 years of age. It is concluded that HRH is clinically useful and a new tool for early diagnosis of erythropoiesis due to iron deficiency.
