    AMPLITUD DE DISTRIBUCIÓN DE ERITROCITOS Y FERRITINA EN ANEMIAS POR DEFICIENCIA DE HIERRO EN PACIENTES DEL IESS PORTOVIEJO
    (Universidad Técnica de Manabí, 2018) VÉLEZ MERO, ALISSON MARIANA ; HOWLAND, IVON
    Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by a decrease in the concentration of iron in the body or iron deficiency, secondary to this, a decrease in hemoglobin or anemia. For diagnosis, low Hb should be detected, and other analyzes of the ferric profile, such as decreased serum ferritin; however, this test is an acute phase reactant, that is to say, it does not reflect the magnitude of iron reserves in inflammation processes, which makes interpretation of results difficult. For this, you think in the utility of Red cell distribution width (RDW) for the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, well it serves as measure of anisocytosis or variability of the size of erythrocytes. Objective: To correlate ADE and ferritin in anemia foriron deficiency in IESS Portoviejo patients. Method: A retrospective quantitative correlative descriptive investigation was carried out, with a sample of 39 patients of IESS Portoviejo with iron deficiency anemia, the analytical method was used, to distinguish the quantitative results of the red series from the automated blood count and serum ferritin, to analyze cases, and correlate the ADE and serum ferritin variables by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The patients sampled were 95% women and 5% men, 36% were between 45-52 and 26% between 37-44 years. All were patients with iron deficiency anemia, with Hb and decreased ferritin, 90% had a concurrent decrease in MCV, HCM and , 69% had increased ADE levels. And the Pearson correlation coefficient between ADE and ferritin was -0.117. Conclusions: There was an inverse correlation between ADE and ferritin in which as ferritin decreases, ADE increases in patients with iron deficiency anemia, but it is not a statistically significant correlation
