The bone mineral density (BMD) correlates positively with gestational age, weight and length [2]. At birth, extremely premature infants (ELBWI)canpresent hypocalcaemia because of interruption of the maternal calcium supply, high level of calci...

متن کاملIron Nutrition in Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Since the early 1920s pediatric textbooks have recognized that infants often become anemic a few months after a preterm birth. However, except for its greater severity, the anemia does not differ in any way from that of full-term infants. It can be divided into an early and a late anemia of prematurity. The early anemia represents the initial fall in concentration of hemoglobin which occurs dur...
متن کاملAggressive nutrition in extremely low birth weight infants: impact on parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis and growth
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a frequently observed pathology in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. Its pathogenesis is determined by the composition and duration of parenteral nutrition (PN) as well as the tolerance of enteral feeds (EF). "Aggressive" nutrition is increasingly used in ELBW infants to improve postnatal growth. Little is known about the...
