Concentraciones séricas de aminotransferasa y su asociación a la obesidad en pacientes hospitalizados por covid-19
Abstract
Los hallazgos científicos preliminares indican que los fenómenos relacionados con COVID-19, son graves en personas que padecen obesidad, dado que influye en los distintos cambios bioquímicos y sistemas del organismo. Es importante vislumbrar en profundidad el resultado que tiene la obesidad en el desarrollo y padecimiento de la COVID-19. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la asociación entre las concentraciones séricas de aminotransferasas y la obesidad en pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19. La investigación de diseño documental con carácter descriptivo y exploratorio el cual permitió seleccionar bajo criterios de inclusión 108 artículos publicados en los últimos años (2019-2022), relacionados al tema. Se evidenció una alta tasa de mortalidad en pacientes obesos con COVID-19 en comparación a sin obesidad, la prolongada estancia hospitalaria, oxigenoterapia, gravedad de la enfermedad, factor de riesgo sin restricción de edad, predisponen a casos graves e influyen en la peor progresión y el pronóstico. Los resultados clínicos, mostraron que las transaminasas, Fosfatasa Alcalina y Bilirrubina Total, tienden a permanecer en niveles altos en personas con obesidad. La evidencia sobre la severidad en pacientes obesos hospitalizados por COVID-19 indica gran variabilidad en la frecuencia de una mayor severidad asociada a la obesidad como factor de riesgo durante la COVID-19.
