Changes in total body water in infants receiving total intravenous nutrition.
Using deuterium oxide dilution technique, the total body water changes of five infants maintained on total parenteral nutrition have been determined. While average weight gains of from 14 to 53 g/day were documented, there were decreases in percentage total body water from 13 to 50%. These data taken together support tissue accretion rather than water retention as the mechanism of weight gain i...
متن کاملPrediction of total body water in infants and children.
BACKGROUND In paediatric clinical practice treatment is often adjusted in relation to body size, for example the calculation of pharmacological and dialysis dosages. In addition to use of body weight, for some purposes total body water (TBW) and surface area are estimated from anthropometry using equations developed several decades previously. Whether such equations remain valid in contemporary...
متن کاملTotal parenteral nutrition in surgical infants.
Introduction The newborn infant is in a 'critical epoch' of development. Nutritional deprivation may adversely affect not only the infant as a whole but also individual organs, notably the brain, leading to stunted physical and intellectual development [l]. In the surgical infant malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality; therefore, it is important that nutritional integ...
متن کاملChanges in manganese content of mononuclear blood cells in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition.
We measured the manganese content of mononuclear blood cells and the manganese concentrations in whole blood and plasma from 31 healthy volunteers and 25 patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) (i.e., no dietary manganese). The manganese content (mean +/- 2 SD) of mononuclear blood cells and the manganese concentration in whole blood and plasma in the healthy volunteers were 8.84 +/...
متن کاملUrea kinetics in neonates receiving total parenteral nutrition.
Urea kinetics were measured on 10 occasions in eight neonates who had not received an oral intake from birth and were maintained on total parenteral nutrition. After a prime/intermittent oral dose of 15N15N-urea over 14 hours urine was collected every three to four hours, urea isolated, and kinetics determined from the plateau level of enrichment in urea, measured by isotope ratio mass spectrom...
