ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Based on the large amount of patients that seek alternative treatment for clinical complaints compatible with ADHD diagnosis and above all by the high percentage of non adaptation or risk that officially proposed drugs may bring, we developed a laboratorial clinical investigative profile that favors a safe homeopathic treatment.Material:
52 cases with urinary zinc analysis, with ADHD diagnosis.Method:
using the diagnosis confirmation questionnaire (SNAP-IV by UFRJ) and Zinc analysis by HPLC method (high performance liquid chromatography) which normal values range from 246 and 846 nmol/liter.Results:
in a 52 patients (table 1) sampling with a suggestive ADHD diagnosis, we obtained a quantitative alteration in 31 cases showing high urinary Zinc levels, which allowed therapeutic approach that lead to better clinical result followed by subsequent reduction of urinary Zinc levels, in posterior analysis in eight (8) of these patients.
