Reference values for urinary calcium and phosphorus to prevent osteopenia of prematurity

open access: yesPediatric Nephrology, 2004
The prevention of osteopenia of prematurity is an important issue in the care of preterm infants. Fetal bone mineral accretion has been achieved in preterm infants by establishing and maintaining a simultaneous slight excretion of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) (urine concentrations of 1-2 mmol/l) by means of an individual supplementation with Ca and ...

[Osteopenia of prematurity. Proposal for clinical-laboratory screening].

open access: yesMinerva pediatrica, 1992
Osteopenia is a metabolic bone disease which affects a great deal of preterm infants. X-Ray evaluation is still the main step of the diagnostic and follow-up procedures. The Authors prospectively studied 77 newborn infants with birth weight less than 2500 grams, to identify specific clinical and biochemical features of the osteopenic infants.

Osteopenia of prematurity: The cause and possible treatment

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1980
By photon absorptiometry, extrauterine bone mineralization in low-birth-weight infants fed a standard commercial formula lags significantly behind intrauterine bone mineralization. In the present study, infants of 28- to 32-week and 33- to 35-week gestational age were studied.

Osteopenia of prematurity: a radiological perspective

Journal of Neonatology, 2008
The term osteopenia of prematurity (OOP) or rickets of prematurity refers to the hypomineralization of preterm skeleton resulting from incomplete in-utero accretion of minerals. It is most commonly observed between 3–12 months of post conceptional age. The condition can be diagnosed clinically but only at a very advanced stage. Biochemical screening of

Premature graying of hair is a risk marker for osteopenia.

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1994
Premature graying of hair is associated with several endocrine disorders, vitiligo, and the aging process. Although the pathophysiology of melanin depletion in hair follicles is unknown, genetic factors regulate the expression of this trait. As acquisition of bone mass is also genetically determined, we performed an exploratory case control study of ...

[Osteopenia of prematurity].

Orvosi hetilap, 2006
The survival rate of premature infants has been significantly increased during the last decades. As a consequence, the problem of less imminent, slowly progressing, but also important disorders such as osteopenia of prematurity has been emerging. The diagnosis of osteopenia of prematurity is based evidence for less bone mineral density compared to ...

[Osteopenia in premature children: an emerging problem].

Minerva pediatrica, 1989
Osteopenia of preterm newborns is a condition of undermineralization which arises during the first years of life in very low birth-weight infants. The pathogenesis of disease is multifactorial, even if its main mechanism is the inadequate mineral intake (overall the inadequate phosphorus intake).

[Prevention of osteopenia in premature infants].

Medycyna wieku rozwojowego, 2009
Proposition of recommendations for prevention of osteopenia in premature infants is presented in this article. In parenteral nutrition in premature infants calcium and phosphorus should be supplemented early in a dose of 80-100 mg/kg/24 h (2-2.5 mmol/kg/24 h) and 43-63 mg/kg/24 h (1.4-2 mmol/kg/24 h) respectively.
