La Enfermedad Nodular Tiroidea (ENT) es motivo de frecuente consulta médica, por lo que debe ser evaluada con precisión para realizar un tratamiento adecuado, en el momento preciso. Esta afecta entre el 4-7% de la población, siendo las mujeres las más propensas a presentar la enfermedad.Determinamos la frecuencia de Enfermedad Nodular Tiroidea en los pacientes que asisten al servicio de endocrinología en un hospital de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, durante el período febrero-abril de 2016, en un estudio de carácter retrospectivo, descriptivo y de corte transversal. Evaluamos 206 archivos médicos y sonografías de los pacientes diagnosticados con Enfermedad Nodular Tiroidea.El 96% de los pacientes, equivalente a 197 casos de los nódulos tiroideos, se presentan en mujeres, mientras que solo un 4%, igual a 9 casos, fueron identificados en hombres. La aparición de nódulos se incrementa entre los rangos de edad de 50-60 años y disminuye significativamente al superar los 60 años de edad. Predominan los coloides y quistes simples, según el tipo histológico de los nódulos, con una aparición muy poco frecuente de carcinomas.
A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the frequency and management of hematuria and proteinuria in patients attending the pediatric emergency at the San Lorenzo de Los Mina Maternal and Child Hospital during the month of April 2016. Some 54 patients had proteinuria or hematuria, representing 3.29% of the children and adolescents seen during that period. Males (67%) patients and those aged 2-5 years (46.29%) were the most affected. The most frequent signs and symptoms were vomiting, in 42.59%, and fever, in 40.74%. Of the patients studied, 40.74% had tonsillitis as a personal pathological antecedent, and 48.14% of their relatives had high blood pressure. The method used for the diagnosis was the test strip, resulting in 77.77% with proteinuria, and 14.81% for hematuria; 7.40% presented both findings.In conclusion, patients who are diagnosed with proteinuria or hematuria should be followed to avoid chronic renal complications.
