Low plasma zinc concentrations in pediatric patients with cirrhosis.
OBJECTIVE To determine plasma zinc concentrations in children and adolescents with cirrhosis and to investigate the association between these results and dietary zinc intake, anthropometric data, and severity of liver disease. METHODS Plasma zinc concentration was assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 30 children and adolescents with cirrhosis (105.0+/-60.0 months; 22 girls) and ...
متن کاملPlasma zinc concentrations in iron supplemented low birthweight infants.
We investigated the effect of prolonged iron supplementation of low birthweight infants on plasma zinc concentrations. Thirty infants (neonatal weight 820-2000 g) were examined at 6 or 12 months of life to assess their iron state and plasma zinc concentration. All of them were feeding on iron fortified formulas, which supply about 1 mg/kg/day of iron. In addition, 14 of them had been receiving ...
متن کاملConstancy in integrated cisplatin plasma concentrations among pediatric patients.
The authors report on the variability in the integrated quantity of free (unbound) plasma cisplatin (area under curve of plasma concentration versus time, AUC). The AUC was measured in 19 patients receiving cisplatin doses proportional to body surface areas (BSA), 30 mg/m2 over 1 hour. The relative standard deviation (RSD, population standard deviation divided by mean value) for the maximum fre...
متن کاملPlasma and urinary zinc in patients with malabsorption syndromes or hepatic cirrhosis.
Plasma and urinary zinc have been measured in 19 patients with malabsorption and 21 patients with hepatic cirrhosis. The results have been compared with those of 20 control subjects and 23 patients with a variety of other diseases. The diurnal variation in plasma zinc levels has been confirmed and is of such magnitude that this must be taken into account in comparing results in groups of subjec...
متن کاملPredictors of plasma zinc concentrations in children with acute diarrhea.
BACKGROUND Plasma and serum zinc concentrations are the most widely used markers of zinc status in individual persons and populations. OBJECTIVE The objective was to identify factors that influence plasma zinc concentrations during acute childhood diarrhea. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study of 1757 cases of acute diarrhea in 6-35-mo-old Nepalese children. The association between plasm...
