ABSTRACT

Introduction: The laboratory values accepted as you index them they have been determined starting from studies carried out in racial, cultural and environmentally different populations. Each laboratory should manage reference values characteristic of the population under its environment. Objective: To determine the ranges of normality of some biochemical tests in healthy mature people of the Central Hospital of the Air force of the Peru. Material and methods: Observational, transverse and descriptive study. We studied a total of 224 people from 20 to 40 years of the aeronautical environment whom arrived to evaluation in the department of aerospace medicine which went by evaluation of different specialties, whose indexes of corporal mass were among 20-25. They were excluded patients that were not in fast or that has received high diets in fatty 24 hours of the taking of sample. It was determined the values of glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, total proteins, albumin, total calcium, amilase, lactic deshidrogenase (LDH), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase. Results: 124 males and 100 women were evaluated, 12 variables in the masculine population and 15 in the feminine population didn’t present normal distribution for what was used calculations percentiles. Conclusions: Both groups were constituted by people with very similar ages and in their majority (80-82%) ages smaller than 30 years. There are differences among masculine and feminine population in most of studied tests (60%). The inferior and superior values of creatinine were above that reported in other studies. The values of glucose, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, uric acid, total proteins, total cholesterol and triglycerides present values above other populations.
