RESUMEN
Resumen ANTECEDENTES Las concentraciones elevadas de gamma-glutamil transpeptidasa (GGT) se han asociado con el riesgo de enfermedad coronaria isquémica, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y evento vascular cerebral.

OBJETIVO:

Determinar mediante métodos estadísticos estandarizados que la elevación sérica de gamma-glutamil transpeptidasa es predictor temprano de evento vascular cerebral en la población mexicana. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODO:

Estudio tipo casos y controles, con medición de GGT sérica en pacientes con enfermedades crónico-degenerativas en control y pacientes crónicos con un evento cardiovascular adverso, en este caso, un evento vascular cerebral de tipo isquémico (EVC), efectuado de mayo de 2016 a julio de 2017.

RESULTADOS:

Se incluyeron 74 pacientes; los pacientes con EVC tuvieron, en pro- medio, 17.81 U/L de GGT más que los controles ajustado por edad, con diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p = 0.038, IC95% 1.04-34.57).

CONCLUSIONES:

Las concentraciones de gamma-glutamil transpeptidasa se correlacionan de manera directamente proporcional con el riesgo cardiovascular, lo que tiene gran importancia debido a que se ha demostrado que sus concentraciones séricas pueden disminuirse con medidas como dieta y ejercicio, por lo que se abre un amplio panorama para posteriores estudios que puedan reafirmar la validez de éste y hacer otros con un enfoque preventivo.
ABSTRACT
Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) have been associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus and stroke.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine, by means of standardized statistical methods, that the serum elevation of GGT is an early predictor of ischemic stroke in the Mexican population. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

A case-control study was conducted with measurement of serum GGT in patients with chronic-degenerative diseases without cardiovascular events and chronic patients with an adverse cardiovascular event, in this case, an ischemic stroke, done from May 2016 to June 2017.

RESULTS:

A total of 74 patients were analyzed; patients with ischemic stroke presented, on average, 17.81 U/L of GGT more than controls adjusted for age, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.038, 95%CI 1.04- 34.57).

CONCLUSIONS:

GGT levels correlated directly with cardiovascular risk, which is of great importance, since it has been shown that serum levels can be reduced with measures such as diet and exercise, so that a broad panorama opens up for further studies that can reaffirm the validity of this study and do others with a preventive approach.
