Estudio comparativo entre una técnica semicuantitativa y cuantitativa, en pacientes con solicitud de microalbuminuria, que asisten al Laboratorio Medilab de la ciudad de Loja

Microalbuminuria is defined as a small amount of the protein albumin present in the urine in quantities which are not identified by traditional laboratory tests, making it impossible to detect through the aforementioned procedures. The quantification of said protein is fundamental in the diagnosis and monitoring of renal pathologies (Calzolaio, 2013). This study was performed on urine samples taken from patients who possessed a lab order for the microalbuminuria test. The patients were tested at the Medilab laboratory in the city of Loja. The objective of this research, which was a quantitative and cross-sectional study, was to compare the quantitative and semiquantitative techniques for the determination of microalbuminuria. One hundred urine samples were analyzed; the quantitative technique was used as the gold standard. The following results were obtained: 20 samples were True Positive and 1 was False Negative; with a sensitivity of 95%; likewise, 77 samples were True Negative and 2 were False Positive; with a specificity of 97%. When performing the respective assessment between these two techniques, it was determined that the semiquantitative was a reliable test for obtaining real and near real results of microalbuminuria in comparison to the reference test. Keywords: Quantitative Technique, Semiquantitative Technique, Microalbuminuria, Sensitivity and Specificity.
