Early neonatal hypocalcaemia.
In our hospital early neonatal hypocalcaemia is now the major cause of low serum calcium in the neonatal period. Over a 2-year period, only 2 cases of hypocalcaemic convulsions were seen in a total of 8700 deliveries, though 51 infants had early neonatal hypocalcaemia. All sick low birth-weight infants should have daily serum calcium estimations carried out. Calcium supplements should be consid...
متن کاملPlasma thyrocalcitonin and parathyroid hormone concentrations in early neonatal hypocalcaemia.
During the first week of life serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, immunoreactive thyrocalcitonin hormone, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were determined daily in 36 preterm and 29 small for gestational age, full term, healthy infants. Preterm babies with early neonatal hypocalcaemia had significantly higher concentrations of serum thyrocalcitonin hormone in the first four days of life...
متن کاملSignificance of hypocalcaemia in neonatal convulsions.
For many years birth trauma has been stated to be the commonest cause of neonatal convulsions; there have, however, been few prospective studies to support this view. In 1954 Burke studied 46 infants who had had convulsions in the first 2 weeks of life; in 70% of the series she found birth trauma or anoxia during birth to have been the likely cause of the fit, and over a third of the infants co...

متن کاملMalignant infantile osteopetrosis presenting with neonatal hypocalcaemia.
Presentation characteristics were reviewed in 14 children from 12 families with malignant infantile osteopetrosis seen at two large referral centres for bone marrow transplantation. Children from six of these families presented initially with symptoms of hypocalcaemia. These comprised early or late neonatal convulsions in six cases (corrected serum calcium < 1.5 mmol/l), and vomiting and irrita...
