Evaluation of Serum Zinc Levels in Hyperbilirubinemic Neonates Before and After Phototherapy
BACKGROUND The existing therapeutic methods for neonatal jaundice are costly, time-consuming and potentially risky. Zinc salts can reduce phototherapy duration by precipitating unconjugated bilirubin in the intestine (bilirubin and zinc can form a complex in physiologic pH); however, zinc toxicity is an issue that must be considered since theoretically bilirubin reduction by phototherapy may in...
متن کاملAlterations in Serum Magnesium Levels in Hyperbili-rubinemic Neonates Before and After Phototherapy
Background: Bilirubin binds to cell membrane phospholipids, including N-methyl D-aspartate receptor, and causes excessive activation that can lead to neurotoxic effects. Since magnesium is an important inhibitor of this receptor, a comparison can be made between the physiological effects of magnesium and the neurological effects of bilirubin. This study aimed to compare changes in serum magnesi...
متن کاملEffect of Phototherapy on Serum Bilirubin and Ionized Magnesium Level in Hyperbilirubinemic Neonates
Objectives: Jaundice is a main problem in the early neonatal period and it is suggested that there is a positive correlation between plasma ionized Mg levels and severity of hyperbilirubinemia in newborn. The aim of this study is to explore the association and to evaluate and interpret its clinical significance as well as to observe the effect of phototherapy on serum magnesium and bilirubin le...
متن کاملEffect of Intensive Phototherapy and Exchange Transfusion on Copper, Zinc and Magnesium Serum Levels in Neonates with Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia
BackgroundMany studies reported that copper, zinc and magnesium play important roles in the pathogenesis and development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Exchange transfusion and intensive phototherapy are known two modalities of therapy for severe neonatal hyper bilirubinemia, but the effect of them on those trace elements is unknown.Materials and MethodsCopper, Zinc and Magnesium serum levels ...
متن کاملImpact of Combined Oral Zinc Sulfate and Phototherapy on Serum Bilirubin Levels in the Term Neonates with Jaundice
Background: Jaundice is a physiological phenomenon and common disorder in the neonatal period. Jaundice occurs in the first month of life in 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates, leading to hospitalization. The present study aimed to determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate on serum bilirubin levels in the neonates undergoing phototherapy. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conduc...
