Hypophosphatemia as an Early Metabolic Bone Disease Marker in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants After Prolonged Parenteral Nutrition Exposure.

CONCLUSIONS: Hypophosphatemia developed as early as 2 weeks old in high-risk preterm infants due to inadequate supplementation. Neither the serum calcium nor alkaline phosphatase levels are affected. Thus, the routine serum phosphorus level monitoring should be started 2 weeks after birth for early metabolic bone disease detection in extremely low birth weight infants.
