Correlation between Lead in Maternal Blood, Umbilical Cord Blood, and Breast Milk with Newborn Anthro-pometric Characteristics
Background: Breast milk can be a source of toxic material, along with the transfer of nutrients needed for infant growth. This study was conducted to measure the level of lead in maternal and neonatal blood and breast milk in Tehran, Iran.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 150 mothers and their infants were studied. Samples of maternal blood, fetal umbilical cord blood, breast milk, ...
متن کاملFactors influencing the difference between maternal and cord blood lead.
AIMS To determine the factors that affect why some infants receive higher exposures relative to the mother's body burden than do others. METHODS A total of 159 mother-infant pairs from a cohort of women receiving prenatal care at Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA from 1992 to 1995 provided blood samples at delivery for lead determination. The difference between cord and maternal blood l...
متن کاملDecline of maternal blood lead concentrations in Glasgow.
Seventeen years ago we reported the public health success of reduced lead exposure of mothers in Glasgow, achieved between 1977 and 1980 by increasing the pH of the water supply from 6.3 to 9.0 with lime to reduce plumbosolvency.A further reduction in plumbosolvency has now been made by addition of orthophosphate to the water supply. We report here on striking changes in maternal blood lead con...
متن کاملMaternal blood lead concentration, diet during pregnancy, and anthropometry predict neonatal blood lead in a socioeconomically disadvantaged population.
To determine the influences of maternal diet and nutrition during pregnancy on the blood lead level of neonates, we conducted a study of mother-infant pairs from lower socioeconomic circumstances living in Albany County, New York. Maternal blood lead (MBPb), anthropometry, and diet were assessed in each trimester. Neonates' blood lead (NBPb) levels were low (geometric mean = 1.58 micro g/dL), a...
متن کاملInterrelations of lead levels in bone, venous blood, and umbilical cord blood with exogenous lead exposure through maternal plasma lead in peripartum women.
Recent research has raised the possibility that fetal lead exposure is not estimated adequately by measuring lead content in maternal whole blood lead because of the variable partitioning of lead in whole blood between plasma and red blood cells. Lead in maternal plasma may derive in large part from maternal bone lead stores. In this study we aimed to estimate the contribution of maternal whole...
