Efectos de la exposición a altura en indicadores bioquímicos del cuerpo humano

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to investigate and analyze the hematological and biochemical changes that occur in people residing at different altitudes. Although most human beings live at sea level, more than 40 million people live more than 3,500 meters above sea level and some 140 million live more than 2,500 meters above sea level. The corresponding hematological and biochemical analyzes were carried out, taking blood samples before and after the trip made at different heights from the city of Santa Rosa, which has an altitude of 10 meters above sea level, to the city of Loja with an altitude of 2060 meters above sea level, to determine the physiological changes that occur, taking into account the parameters that were affected in three female volunteers residing in the city of Santa Rosa, who presented an increase in hemoglobin, erythrocytes, hematocrit, ferritin and decreased oxygenation saturation in height, analyzing the adaptability developed in the organism in an interval of 5 days.
