Galactose in the urine of newborn infants

The urinary concentration of galactose has been studied in normal newborn infants, in patients with neonatal jaundice, and in prematurely born infants. Three methods were used: (1) quantitative assay with galactose oxidase after ion exchange filtration; (2) quantitative assay with galactose dehydrog...

Zusammenfassung:The urinary concentration of galactose has been studied in normal newborn infants, in patients with neonatal jaundice, and in prematurely born infants. Three methods were used: (1) quantitative assay with galactose oxidase after ion exchange filtration; (2) quantitative assay with galactose dehydrogenase; and (3) qualitative assay with a test paper. The methods have been compared with one another. The normal concentration of galactose in the urine from the 3 groups of patients has been determined.
