Metabolic bone disease of prematurity and secondary hyperparathyroidism

Abstract: Infants born extremely prematurely have significant calcium and phosphate depletion by the time they reach full term compared with the normal fetal accretion rate. This is exacerbated if there is poor tolerability to feeds where extra calcium and phosphate could not be added either by additives or via human milk fortifier. Serum calcium and phosphate levels may be normal despite inadequate intake or stores due to the counter-regulatory effect of PTH. In infants at risk of MBD, testing serum alkaline phosphatas… Show more

“…Consequently, elevation of ALP suggests biliary obstruction only after bone disease is excluded 32 , 36 . Thus, the metabolic bone disease, usually referred to as osteopenia of prematurity, should be considered a likely confounder when evaluating serum ALP in premature infants 33 , 37 39 . In our study, the exact incidence of osteopenia of prematurity cannot be calculated because specific investigation was not routinely performed.…”

“…In recent studies, we could find this pathology in slightly more than half of the newborns (NB) with less than 28 weeks of gestational age (GA) or newborn's weight (NBW) less than 1000 grams, and 1 of every 4-5 children under 1500 grams 9,10 . It is closely associated with GA, NBW, and the type of feeding with delayed enteral inputs and with the severity of the total process.…”

“…It is more likely that an elevated iPTH level in our patients resulted rather from insufficient calcium intake/absorption than their vitamin D status, insofar as we found less serum calcium in the lower BMC group, while there were no differences in the serum 25OHD level between the groups. A decreasing iPTH level during oral calcium supplementation means a higher probability of calcium deficiency in preterm infants with an elevated iPTH [28, 31]. On the other hand, a higher vitamin D intake in preterm infants fed mineral-enriched postdischarge formula is associated with increased bone accretion.…”
