Title

URINARY CALCIUM/CREATININ RATIO WITH DIFFERENT DOSAGES OF VITAMIN D3 PROPHYLAXIS IN INFANTS

Pages

  159-163

Abstract

 Objective: The requirement of VITAMIN D for breast-fed term INFANTs remains an area of controversy. Different dosage is needed according to environmental factors such as sunlight exposure. Reception of more than 400 I.U. of VITAMIN D daily produces hypercalcemia. A random urine CALCIUM/CREATININ RATIO (UCa/Cr) is a screening test for detection of HYPERCALCIURIA. Setting adequate values of VITAMIN D3 prophylaxis by random UCa/Cr in INFANT population of Yazd city in Iran, is the aim of present study.Methods: A total of 90 healthy, full term newborns of both genders were enrolled in the study. They were divided equally into three receiving VITAMIN D3 prophylaxis groups as follow: (I) 200 IU/daily, (II) 400 IU/daily and (III) 50000 IU two times in fifteen and sixty days after birth. A random urine specimen from each subject was analyzed for calcium, creatinin and serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D at the end of three months of life.Findings: From all 90 studied INFANTs, 25 (83.3%) INFANTs with 200 IU/daily VITAMIN D3, 23 (76.7%) INFANTs with 400 IU/daily VITAMIN D3 and 28 (93.3%) who received 50000 IU two times (76 INFANTs, 84.4%) had HYPERCALCIURIA and 14 (15.6%) INFANTs remained with low values of Ca/Cr ratios.Conclusion: According to high prevalence of HYPERCALCIURIA in this survey, it is recommended to evaluate the VITAMIN D level in INFANTs and use proper amount of supplemented VITAMIN D. It seems that 200 IU/daily could be used in INFANTs in our area.
