Monitoring of Urinary Calcium and Phosphorus Excretion in Preterm Infants: Comparison of 2 Methods

Monitoring of Urinary Calcium and Phosphorus Excretion in Preterm Infants: Comparison of 2 Methods

OBJECTIVES:Premature babies require supplementation with calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) to prevent metabolic bone disease of prematurity. To guide mineral supplementation, 2 methods of monitoring urinary excretion of Ca and P are usedurinary Ca or P concentration and Ca/creatinine (Crea) or P/Crea...

Zusammenfassung:OBJECTIVES:Premature babies require supplementation with calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) to prevent metabolic bone disease of prematurity. To guide mineral supplementation, 2 methods of monitoring urinary excretion of Ca and P are usedurinary Ca or P concentration and Ca/creatinine (Crea) or P/Crea ratios. We compare these 2 methods in regards to their agreement on the need for mineral supplementation. METHODS:Retrospective chart review of 230 premature babies with birth weight
