Information on the vitamin A and E nutritional status in preterm infants is scarce. POPULATION AND METHODS: In the present prospective and longitudinal study, we measured the plasma concentrations of vitamins A, E, D and of retinol binding protein (RBP) in preterm infants (32-34 weeks of gestation) at birth, and verified whether oral supplementation with these 3 vitamins for 1, 3 and 6 months affected their plasma concentrations. The 17 consecutively recruited premature infants received daily 3000 IU of vitamin A, 5 mg of vitamin E and 1000 IU of vitamin D. RESULTS: At birth, premature infants exhibited a low plasma concentrations of vitamin A (0.66 [0.41-0.96]) micromol/l, vitamin E (8.1 [4.2-16.9] micromol/l), RBP (0.45 [0.22-0.71] micromol/l) and 25 hydroxyvitamine D (25 OHD) (20 [20-40] nmol/l). Plasma vitamin A, E , D and RBP concentrations increased with time, but vitamin A at 1, 3 and 6 months did not attain values considered normal in term infants or adolescents. At 6 months, the plasma 25 OHD was at 92 (71-116) nmol/l, a concentration considered normal and non-toxic. CONCLUSION: We recommend to increase oral administration of vitamin A to 5000 IU/day, at least for the first month of life and, thereafter to administer 3000 IU for 5 months. As for vitamin E and vitamin D, the doses used in this study are sufficient but should be administered for 6 months. 相似文献

Because total parenteral nutrition with vitamins added to the glucose-amino acid mixture is often associated with a reduction in blood levels of vitamin A (retinol) during the routine treatment of many very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (less than 1500 gm), and because retinol losses in the plastic delivery system can be prevented by adding the vitamins to an intravenous lipid emulsion, seven VLBW infants with a mean birth weight of 900 gm (range 450 to 1360 gm) were given 40% of a unit dose vial, per kilogram of body weight, of a multivitamin preparation (M.V.I. Pediatric) (280 micrograms retinol; 160 IU vitamin D; 2.8 mg tocopherol; 0.68 mg riboflavin) in a lipid emulsion, Intralipid. After treatment with the intralipid-vitamin mixture for 19 to 28 days, plasma vitamin A (retinol) concentrations increased significantly from 11.0 +/- 0.76 (mean +/- SEM) before intralipid to 19.2 +/- 0.97 micrograms/dl after the intralipid-vitamin mixture (p less than 0.01); 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations increased from an initial value of 12.6 +/- 2.6 to 20.2 +/- 1.9 mg/dl (p less than 0.01); alpha-tocopherol concentrations increased from an initial value of 0.31 +/- 0.06 to 2.44 +/- 0.13 mg/dl (p less than 0.01); and riboflavin levels increased from 64.1 +/- 7.8 ng/ml to concentrations between 20 and 100 times the initial level. Erythrocyte riboflavin levels increased from 71.8 +/- 14 initially to 166 +/- 41 ng/gm hemoglobin, and erythrocyte flavin-adenine dinucleotide levels increased similarly from 972 +/- 112 initially to 2005 +/- 294 ng/gm hemoglobin. These results show that the addition of M.V.I. Pediatric to Intralipid decreases the extensive in vivo loss of retinol and is associated with an increase in plasma retinol concentrations in VLBW infants. The daily doses of vitamins D (160 IU/kg) and E (2.8 mg/kg) appear sufficient, but the dose of vitamin A (280 micrograms/kg) is insufficient to raise blood levels of all infants into the normal range. The current dose of riboflavin is excessive and may be harmful. 相似文献

The vitamin D nutritional status of premature infants was assessed by determining plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations before and during supplementation with 500 IU vitamin D2 per day. Fifty-one samples were collected from 25 healthy infants fed breast milk and a vitamin D3 fortified formula. Gestational age was 32.2 +/- 2.4 weeks (mean +/- 1 SD). 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels before supplementation correlated well with maternal values (r = 0.81). The infants' mean plasma concentration increased from 30.6 +/- 13.7 nmol/l (mean +/- 1 SD) after birth to 46.3 +/- 10.5 nmol/l after 9 +/- 1 days (p less than 0.0025), and to 65.3 +/- 16.6 nmol/l after 37 +/- 10 days of vitamin D2 treatment (p less than 0.0005). 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were determined separately, and it appeared that the rise was accounted for by the D2 fraction while 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations were unchanged. The results demonstrate that vitamin D2 is well absorbed and hydroxylated in the 25 position by premature infants free of associated disease, and that a supplementation of 500 IU per day in addition to breast milk and a regular vitamin D fortified formula is adequate to rapidly establish 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels within the normal adult range. 相似文献

To characterize differences in intestinal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins during cholestasis, intestinal absorption of vitamin E was compared with that of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in eight infants and young children with prolonged neonatal cholestasis. Oral tolerance tests were performed using 100 IU/kg/dose dl-alpha-tocopherol and 10 micrograms/kg/dose 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Mean vitamin E absorption was only 1.0% to 1.9% of that of control children, whereas 25-hydroxyvitamin D absorption was 22.5% to 25.1% of that of controls. Although intestinal absorption of both vitamins is impaired during cholestasis, the severity of vitamin E malabsorption far exceeds that of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. 相似文献

Vitamin A deficiency associated with preterm delivery is not readily reversible using the recommended supplement of 1500 IU per day. It has been reported that 2000 IU of intramuscular vitamin A administered on alternate days for 28 days will correct the deficiency. The objective of this study was to compare this regime with the practice in our nursery of giving 5000 IU of vitamin A per day with the early introduction of feeds. The vitamin A status of ten preterm infants (mean gestation 30.5 weeks) who received intramuscular vitamin supplementation was compared with that of nine infants (mean gestation 30.7 weeks) given enteral vitamin A. Vitamin A status was evaluated on the 32nd day of life using plasma retinol and retinol-binding protein (RBP) concentrations and a modified relative dose response (RDR) test. Plasma retinol and RBP concentrations were similar in the two groups shortly after birth revealing vitamin A deficiency. By the 32nd day of life, plasma retinol and RBP concentrations had risen significantly in both groups and in 70% the modified RDR was normal. Differences between the groups were not observed irrespective of the method of vitamin A administration. None of the infants developed clinical or biochemical vitamin A toxicity. In most preterm infants who tolerate feeds, vitamin A deficiency can be corrected safely by supplementing the feeds with 5000 IU of vitamin A per day. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Vitamins A and E are two potent antioxidant nutrients that play a significant role in immune function. In contrast to the numerous studies of vitamin A and E status in children, adolescents, and adults, information on term infants, particularly breast-fed infants, is scarce. The goals of the present investigation were to examine the vitamins A and E nutritional status of term breast-fed infants at birth and to assess retinol and tocopherol plasma levels during a 3-month supplementation trial. METHODS: The study was a prospective, blinded comparison of a supplementation protocol with a placebo in a group of consecutively recruited term newborns. The supplemented group received 3000 IU vitamin A and 5 IU vitamin E orally. The placebo group received a solution of similar viscosity and organoleptic characteristics. Vitamin A and E were separated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a C18 Spectrasyl column and quantified by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. RESULTS: Vitamin A and E levels steadily increased with age in both groups of infants. However, levels at 3 months were higher in the supplemented than in the control group. CONCLUSION: The data show that supplementation with 3000 IU vitamin A and 5 IU vitamin E for 3 months increases circulating vitamin levels in newborn term babies compared with those in nonsupplemented infants. 相似文献

Seventy-one very low birth weight (less than or equal to 1500 gm) infants were studied to determine the sequential changes in serum vitamin D metabolite concentrations between infants with and without radiographically documented rickets, fractures, or both (R/F). Usual intake of vitamin D included 20 IU/kg/day from parenteral nutrition or 400 IU/day supplementation with enteral feeding. Radiographs of both forearms and serum samples were obtained at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Twenty-two infants had R/F. At 3 months, significantly lower mean (+/- SEM) serum phosphorus levels (4.5 +/- 0.4 vs 6.1 +/- 0.2 mg/dl), higher 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-[OH]2D) concentrations (96 +/- 5 vs 77 +/- 4 pg/ml), and higher free 1,25-(OH)2D index (1,25-[OH]2D:vitamin D binding protein ratio; 5.2 +/- 0.3 x 10(5) vs 4.0 +/- 0.2 x 10(5] were found in the R/F group. These values returned to normal and were similar between groups on subsequent measurements. Serum calcium, magnesium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations were normal and similar between groups. In both groups, serum vitamin D binding concentrations increased initially but remained stable and normal beyond 6 months. We conclude that in very low birth weight infants with R/F, the vitamin D status (as indicated by serum 25-OHD concentrations) is normal, and that lowered serum phosphorus levels, higher serum 1,25-(OH)2D levels, and a higher free 1,25-(OH)2D index support the thesis that mineral deficiency (especially of phosphorus) may be important in the pathogenesis of R/F in small preterm infants. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Rickets was diagnosed in an extremely low-birthweight infant 16 weeks after birth. She had a normal plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, a relatively low level of 24,25-dthy-droxyvitamin D, and a markedly elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D level compared with adult standards. The plasma concentrations of the vitamin D metabolites were, however, indistin-guishable from those of healthy preterm infants who received a similar diet of human milk and vitamins. The results indicate that rickets was not caused by vitamin D deficiency or by abnormal vitamin D metabolism, but by calcium and/or phosphate deficiency, and that the calcium and phosphorous content of human milk may be inappropriately low for very low-birthweight infants. 相似文献

25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium levels in maternal, cord and infant serum in relation to maternal vitamin D intake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), total calcium, phosphorus and proteins were measured in 40 healthy mothers and their infants at the time of delivery during the months of December and January. Calcium, phosphorus and proteins were again measured in the plasma of the infants on the fourth day of life. Vitamin D intake of the mothers during their last 3 months of pregnancy were estimated by interviews. The mean (+/-SE) plasma levels of 25-OHD was 9.0 +/- 0.9 ng/ml in the mothers and 5.05 +/- 0.4 ng/ml in cords. There was a significant correlation between mother and cord plasma levels (r = 0.75, p less than or equal to 0.001). The concentration gradient of 25-OHD plasma levels between mother and cord is higher at high 25-OHD maternal concentrations. This suggests that the placenta plays a regulating role in the 25-OHD transfer between mother and foetus. The 4-day-old infants from mothers having a suboptimal vitamin D intake (less than 150 IU/day) have a lower mean serum plasma level than infants born from mothers with a vitamin D intake of more than 500 IU/day. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine (1) the effect of vitamin D intake (380 to 480 IU daily) on plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) concentrations and (2) the relationship of 1,25-(OH)2D to calcium and phosphorus absorption and retention in the very low birth weight infant receiving a preterm infant formula. SUBJECTS: Eleven "well" infants with a birth weight and gestational age (mean +/- SD) of 1078 +/- 128 gm and 29 +/- 1.9 weeks, respectively, were studied for a 3-week period. Weight and postnatal age (mean +/- SD) at the beginning of the study were 1132 +/- 56 gm and 16 +/- 6 days, respectively. All infants were fed a preterm infant formula and tolerated a full enteral intake (120 kcal/kg/day) for the duration of the study. INTERVENTIONS: Plasma 25-OHD and 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations were measured at the beginning of the study and at the beginning of each 48-hour balance period. Calcium and phosphorus balance studies (n = 33) were performed weekly. MAIN RESULTS: Plasma 25-OHD (30 +/- 10 ng/ml) and 1,25-(OH)2D (54 +/- 14 pg/ml) concentrations were normal at the beginning of the study. Plasma 25-OHD values did not change, but 1,25-(OH)2D values increased (p less than 0.001) throughout the study. Plasma 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations were not related to calcium or phosphorus absorption and retention, but were a linear function of postconceptional age. CONCLUSIONS: Normal vitamin D status and activity are maintained in the very low birth weight infant fed a high calcium formula (380 to 480 IU of vitamin D daily). Plasma 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations are not related to calcium absorption but are linearly related to maturity. 相似文献

Plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) were determined in 81 vitamin D supplemented or unsupplemented infants at the end of winter. The values were compared with maternal levels and with concentrations found in 22 unsupplemented infants at the end of summer. The 25OHD levels of the neonates were lower, but closely related to maternal values (r = 0.95, p less than 0.0005). Unsupplemented breast-fed infants had lower 25OHD levels at 6 weeks than at 4 days (16 +/- 7 vs. 32 +/- 15 nmol/l, mean +/- 1 SD, p less than 0.0005). The mean 25OHD level of vitamin D supplemented 6-12 months old infants was intermediate between those of the unsupplemented nursed groups and the unsupplemented children studied during summer (53 +/- 28 vs. 85 +/- 28 nmol/l, p less than 0.0005). Six weeks old infants who had received a milk formula containing 400 IU vitamin D3 per liter had levels similar to the latter group (92 +/- 21 nmol/l). The data suggest that the vitamin D stores acquired during fetal life, or from ultraviolet light exposure during the summer, may be inadequate to maintain safe levels of 25OHD throughout the winter, but that a daily supplement of 400 IU is adequate to establish concentrations in the summer range. 相似文献

Randomised controlled trial of vitamin D supplementation on bone density and biochemical indices in preterm infants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

AIMS: To test the hypothesis that a vitamin D dose of 200 IU/kg, maximum 400 IU/day, given to preterm infants will maintain normal vitamin D status and will result in as high a bone mineral density as that attained with the recommended dose of 960 IU/day. METHODS: Thirty nine infants of fewer than 33 weeks of gestational age were randomly allocated to receive vitamin D 200 IU/kg of body weight/day up to a maximum of 400 IU/day or 960 IU/day until 3 months old. Vitamin D metabolites, bone mineral content and density were determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and plasma ionised calcium, plasma alkaline phosphatase, and intact parahormone measurements were used to evaluate outcomes. RESULTS: The 25 hydroxy vitamin D concentrations tended to be higher in infants receiving 960 IU/day, but the differences did not reach significance at any age. There was no difference between the infants receiving low or high vitamin D dose in bone mineral content nor in bone mineral density at 3 and 6 months corrected age, even after taking potential risk factors into account. CONCLUSIONS: A vitamin D dose of 200 IU/kg of body weight/day up to a maximum of 400 IU/day maintains normal vitamin D status and as good a bone mineral accretion as the previously recommended higher dose of 960 IU/day. Vitamin D is a potent hormone which affects organs other than bone and should not be given in excess to preterm infants. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the status of vitamin D and the influence of a supplement of vitamin D in neonates and infants during the first 6 months of life in the african equatorial environnement of Gabon. DESIGN: Clinical (weight, height, head circumference, and diseases) and biological (calcemia, phosphatemia, serum alkaline phosphatase activity and plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels) parameters were compared between 2 groups of children: group 1: 41 infants receving a daily supplement of 1000 IU of vitamin D, and group 2: 38 infants without vitamin D supplement. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups concerning clinical and biological parameters. In particular plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were normal and similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: A vitamin D supplement appears to be useless in 0 to 6 months infants living in Gabon. 相似文献

Because the efficiency of vitamin D absorption or hepatic uptake and 25-hydroxylation appears decreased in very premature infants, the routine use of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD3) supplementation has been suggested. Absorption studies of a 3 micrograms/kg orally administered dose of 25-OHD3 showed peak serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and -vitamin D3 (25-OHD) concentrations at 4 to 8 hours similar in timing but of lesser magnitude to those seen in adults. Administration of 1 microgram/kg birth weight/day of 25-OHD3 corrected moderately low, but not very low serum (25-OHD) concentrations, and 2 micrograms/kg BW/day resulted in rapid and sustained increase in serum 25-OHD. Administration of 800 IU ergocalciferol (D2) also produced significantly higher serum 25-OHD concentrations than those in infants given 400 IU vitamin D2, but increases in serum 25-OHD were more gradual than in infants given 25-OHD3. In treatment trials with infants weighing less than 1500 gm, those given 800 IU D2, compared with those given 400 IU D2, had higher serum calcium concentrations and less frequent moderate or severe hypomineralization. Infants given 2 micrograms/kg BW 25-OHD3 had a significant increase in serum phosphorus values, but a decrease in serum calcium and magnesium concentrations, and parathyroid hormone also was suppressed to low normal values. The frequency of moderate to severe hypomineralization remained the same as in infants given 400 IU D2. In a subgroup of infants, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D was elevated over adult values, both in infants given 25-OHD3 (68.5 +/- 8.4 pg/ml) and in infants given vitamin D2 (60 +/- 6.7 pg/ml). Serum vitamin D concentrations were undetectable in four of six infants receiving 25-OHD3, but were elevated (5 to 31 ng/ml) in four infants receiving vitamin D2. Although 800 to 1000 IU D2 can be recommended as routine vitamin D supplementation in very premature infants fed standard formula, the use of 25-OHD3 requires further study. 相似文献

Vitamin A status has been assessed by studying plasma vitamin A and retinol binding protein (RBP) levels in premature infants receiving 7,500 IU vitamin A/d (RDA 660-3,300 IU/d) and in control term babies during the 3 first months of life. Sampling was performed within the first week (D0-D7), between the 8th and the 30th day (D8-D30) and during the 2nd and the 3rd month of life (M2-M3). At D0-D7, vitamin A levels of the PTI group (28-32 weeks gestational age), PTII (33-36 weeks GA) and AT (control term newborn) were 242.1 +/- 20.5 (X +/- SEM), 176.1 +/- 12.3 and 213.1 +/- 17.1 micrograms/l respectively (P = 0.005). At D8-D30, these values were 264.2 +/- 26.0, 270.4 +/- 21.6 and 242.6 +/- 24.5 micrograms/l respectively (NS), and at M2-M3 234.2 +/- 21.6, 282.1 +/- 18.5 and 292.1 +/- 31.5 micrograms/l (NS). A significant difference was found between the values of the different dosage periods for PTII and AT groups; no difference in RBP levels was found either between groups or between dosage periods. At birth, our results show that the RBP synthesis is not closely linked to gestational age. The plasma vitamin A levels which rely on foetal stores and therefore on transplacental passage and on peripheral tissue requirements are low at 33-36 weeks gestational age. With a 7,500 IU daily supplement, excessively high vitamin A levels were not observed in premature infants; vitamin A and RBP levels in premature infants receiving supplement are not different from controls despite the 8-12-week term high vitamin A supply. 相似文献

How much vitamin D for neonates? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

To assess the adequacy of different dosages of neonatal vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum concentrations were longitudinally monitored in 27 low-birth-weight and 25 full-term well infants from birth to 16 weeks after delivery. The infants were randomly assigned to receive either 10 micrograms/d (400 IU/d) or 20 micrograms/d (800 IU/d) of vitamin D or 0.85 or 1.5 micrograms/d of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. In each infant who received 10 or 20 micrograms/d of vitamin D 25-hydroxyvitamin D, serum concentrations greater than 20 ng/mL were maintained, with some low-birth-weight infants reaching 60-ng/mL concentrations. Similarly, in the low-birth-weight infants receiving 1.5 and 0.85 micrograms/d of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels greater than 12 ng/mL were maintained. In the full-term infants who received 1.5 micrograms/d of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of greater than 12 ng/mL were maintained, but in those who received 0.85 micrograms/d, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of 10 ng/mL could not be maintained. These vitamin D status data document that 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D represents a sufficient daily intake for both premature and full-term well infants. These data also indicate that while as little as 0.85 micrograms/d of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 may facilitate vitamin D sufficiency in low-birth-weight neonates, it does not do so in full-term infants. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study the postnatal changes in the plasma concentrations of fat soluble antioxidant vitamins and malondialdehyde (MDA) in mothers and their newborns and their relation to smoking. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary perinatal centre. SUBJECTS: Eighteen non-smoking and 14 smoking mothers and 33 infants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Plasma concentrations of vitamins E, A, and beta-carotene and MDA were measured in mothers and infants at delivery and on day 4 post partum. RESULTS: Neonatal plasma levels of vitamins E, A, and beta-carotene were significantly lower than maternal levels both at delivery and on day 4 in both groups. There was a significant postnatal increase in plasma vitamin E levels in smoking mothers and neonates of both groups. A significant postnatal increase in maternal, but not neonatal, plasma vitamin A was noted in both groups. Cord plasma vitamin E levels were significantly lower in infants of smoking mothers (mean 4.7 v 6.5 micromol/l, p = 0.041). Plasma MDA was paradoxically lower in smoking mothers at delivery (3.19 v 4.01 micromol/l, p = 0.03) and on day 4 (1.37 v 3.29 micromol/l, p = 0.005) and in infants of the smoking group on day 4 (2.18 v 3.12 micromol/l, p = 0.014). Also, there was a significant postnatal fall in plasma MDA levels on day 4 in mothers and infants in the smoking group. CONCLUSIONS: The postnatal changes in plasma vitamin E were more pronounced in the smoking group. The postnatal changes in plasma vitamins A and beta-carotene were similar in both groups. The rapid decline in plasma MDA in smoking mothers and their infants suggests withdrawal of oxidative stress from smoking around delivery. This coincided with the increase in plasma vitamin E. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To monitor ultraviolet B light exposure in human milk-fed infants both with and without supplemental vitamin D2, and to measure longitudinally the bone mineral content, growth, and serum concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone. DESIGN: Longitudinal, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 6 months' duration. SETTING: Patients from private pediatric practice, Madison, Wisconsin. PATIENTS: Sequential sampling of 46 human milk-fed white infants; 24 received 400 IU/day of vitamin D2, and 22 received placebo. An additional 12 patients were followed who received standard infant formula. Eighty-three percent of patients completed a full 6 months of the study. MEASUREMENTS and RESULTS: Ultraviolet B light exposure and measurements of growth did not differ between groups. At 6 months, the human milk groups did not differ significantly in bone mineral content or serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, although total 25-hydroxyvitamin D values were significantly less in the unsupplemented human milk group (23.53 +/- 9.94 vs 36.96 +/- 11.86 ng/ml; p less than 0.01). However, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 serum concentrations were significantly higher in the unsupplemented human milk-fed group compared with the supplemented group (21.77 +/- 9.73 vs 11.74 +/- 10.27 ng/ml, p less than 0.01) by 6 months of age. CONCLUSION: Unsupplemented, human milk-fed infants had no evidence of vitamin D deficiency during the first 6 months of life. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate the biochemical status of vitamins A, D, and E in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). SUBJECTS: A total of 127 infants identified by the Colorado CF newborn screening program. DESIGN: Vitamin status (serum retinol, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, ratio of alpha-tocopherol/total lipids) and serum albumin were assessed at diagnosis (4 to 8 weeks), ages 6 months, 12 months, and yearly thereafter, to age 10 years. RESULTS: Deficiency of 1 or more vitamins was present in 44 (45.8%) of 96 patients at age 4 to 8 weeks as follows: vitamin A 29.0%, vitamin D 22.5%, and vitamin E 22.8%. Of these patients with initial deficiency, the percent that was deficient at 1 or more subsequent time points, despite supplementation, was vitamin A 11.1%, vitamin D 12.5%, and vitamin E 57.1%. Of the initial patients with vitamin sufficiency, the percent who became deficient at any time during the 10-year period was as follows: vitamin A 4.5%, vitamin D 14.4%, and vitamin E 11.8%. The percent of patients deficient for 1 or more vitamins ranged from 4% to 45% for any given year. CONCLUSIONS: Despite supplementation with standard multivitamins and pancreatic enzymes, the sporadic occurrence of fat-soluble vitamin deficiency and persistent deficiency is relatively common. Frequent and serial monitoring of the serum concentrations of these vitamins is therefore essential in children with CF. 相似文献
