A case report of osteopenia of prematurity
Radiology Case ReportsThe girl neonate with 1500 g, was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit due to tachypnea and prematurity. She received supportive and therapeutic care in the course of hospitalization. Due to the high level of alkaline phosphatase in the examinations and x-rays of the wrist, premature osteopenia was diagnosed and she was treated with high ...

Serial serum alkaline phosphatase as an early biomarker for osteopenia of prematurity
Medicine, 2016 Metabolic bone disease of prematurity is a condition characterized by reduction in bone mineral content (osteopenia). It is a problem faced by very low birth weight (VLBW) infants because of lack of fetal mineralization during the last trimester. Our aim was to assess serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level as an early biomarker for osteopenia in ...
