Abstract
Objective. The authors’ objectives were to determine mineral as well as Al intakes for ≤1000 g birth weight (ELBW) infants supported with parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions containing calcium chloride (CaCl) and sodium phosphate (NaPhos). Study design. This study was a prospective cohort study of 32 ELBW infants. Nutrient and Al intakes were recorded based on actual fluid intakes and concentrations of nutrients and Al in PN solutions. Growth velocities and peak alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels during the hospital stay were recorded. Result. Mean (±standard deviation) weight, length, and head circumference gains and AP were 13.7 ± 1.8 g/kg/d, 1.0 ± 0.2 cm/wk, 0.7 ± 0.1 cm/wk, and 636 ± 227 U/L, respectively. Al intake was 0.27 ± 0.07 µmol/kg/d (7.2 ± 1.8 µg/kg/d) in infants receiving PN with low Al content. This study documented average parenteral Ca and P intakes of 1.15 to 1.20 and 1.19 to 1.29 mmol/kg/d, (46-48 and 37-40 mg/kg/d), respectively, with PN fluid intakes of 90 to 100 mL/kg/d. Conclusion. AP and growth in ELBW infants receiving PN solutions containing CaCl are comparable to those reported in the literature for ELBW infants. Ca and P intakes approaching those reported for preterm infants receiving PN containing calcium gluconate can be provided with PN solutions containing CaCl. Fluid restriction is a significant factor limiting mineral intakes. Al intake can be limited to near FDA recommended intakes in PN solutions containing CaCl.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential for various systemic functions, including bone mineralization. Adequate provision of Ca and P in pediatric parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions is necessary for skeletal growth and for the prevention of metabolic bone disease. The provision of adequate doses of Ca and P in pediatric PN solutions is complicated by the increased needs in preterm and term infants, solubility limitations, and venous access. Clinicians should be aware of the evidence that supports the optimal use of Ca and P in pediatric PN solutions, including studies that have evaluated dosing and solubility. The aim of this article is to review relevant literature and practices for the use of these two minerals in pediatric PN solutions. The vitamin D endocrine system, a critical component for Ca homeostasis and bone mineralization, is discussed, as well as clinical manifestations of metabolic bone disease and methods for its prevention, assessment, and treatment in pediatric patients receiving PN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parenteral nutrition (PN) plays an important role in the nutritional support of very preterm newborns. It has been suggested that a high proportion of PN orders could be standardized. In 2002, we implemented in our unit the preparation of three standardized formulations for PN adapted to the nutritional requirements of premature infants<32 weeks. Following this change of practice, a retrospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the relevance of the implemented standardized PN regime. Twenty premature inborn infants<32 weeks gestation who had received standardized (STD) PN in 2003 were matched for 20 infants who had received individualized (IND) PN in 2001. Adequacy of nutrition was assessed by comparing daily intravenous nutrient intake and biochemical parameters during the first week. Amino-acid intakes on day 3 were higher in the STD group (1.5+/-0.2 g/kg/d vs. 0.9+/-0.5, p<0.001), and the calcium phosphate intakes were better balanced. The cumulated intake of amino acids for the first week was greater in the STD group (+20% ; p=0.0003). Biochemical parameters were similar in both groups. Insulin infusions were less frequent in the STD group (p<0.06). CONCLUSION Standardized parenteral formulations provided higher early intakes of amino acid and glucose, a better calcium phosphate ratio, and a greater amount of amino-acid intakes during the first week while maintaining the same biochemical parameters. This strategy forms part of an approach concerning quality control and the respect of good professional practice for the preparation of parenteral nutrition solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Premature infants require high intakes of Ca and P to mimic fetal accretion rates. With the current phosphate salt used, adequate amounts cannot be provided due to the precipitation of Ca and P in TPN solutions. OBJECTIVE To compare monobasic potassium phosphate (monobasic regimen) and monobasic plus dibasic potassium phosphate (dibasic regimen) on calcium phosphate solubility in 5 amino acid products, and to determine whether solubility differences observed in these products can be explained by buffering capacity. METHODS TPN solutions were prepared according to standard clinical practice. The following amino acid products were used at 3% concentrations: Primene, Vamin N, TrophAmine, Aminosyn-PF, and Travasol. Dextrose 10%, standard electrolytes, heparin, vitamins and trace elements were added. Calcium (as gluconate) and phosphate (as monobasic or dibasic regimen) were added in one-to-one molar ratios from 0-45 mmol/L. Solutions were inspected macroscopically and microscopically for precipitation under three conditions: immediately, 24 h after preparation at room temperature, and 3 h later in a 37 degrees C water bath. Buffering capacity was determined for each amino acid product by titrating with standardized 0.1 M NaOH. RESULTS Variations in Ca:P solubility and buffer capacity exist between amino acid solutions. With Primene and Vamin no macroscopic or microscopic precipitation was detected up to 45 mmol/L using monobasic regimen, compared to 25 mmol/L using dibasic regimen with Trophamine. Buffer capacity did not account for the solubility differences observed between the five amino acid products, which were related to the pH of the final solution. CONCLUSIONS These data will allow clinicians to double the current concentrations of calcium and phosphate in neonatal TPN solutions using monobasic regimen. Although this is particularly relevant to situations when fluid intake is restricted, the effect of the acid load needs to be investigated in extremely low birth weight infants.

Abstract
Environmental factors, nutritional supplies, hormonal status, diseases, and treatments appear to affect postnatal skeletal growth and mineralization in VLBW infants. Compared with their term counterparts, ELBW infants are at risk of postnatal growth deficiency and osteopenia at the time of hospital discharge. From recent data, DXA is becoming one of the reference techniques to evaluate mineral status, whole-body composition, and effects of dietary manipulations on weight gain composition and mineral accretion in preterm infants. Weight gain and length increases need to be evaluated carefully during the first weeks of life, in the intensive care unit and out of it, in the step down unit. Nutritional survey is required to improve the nutritional supply and to maximize linear growth. As the critical epoch of growth extends, during the first weeks or months after discharge, follow-up and nutritional support need to be provided during the first years to promote early catch-up growth and mineralization. Further studies need to determine precisely the most optimal feeding regimen during this period but also need to evaluate the long-term implications of such a policy on stature, peak bone mass, and general health at adulthood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The supply of high amounts of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is matter of concern because of the risk associated with calcium phosphate precipitation. The in vitro Ca-P compatibility in ready-for-use TPN solutions after the addition of different concentrations of inorganic phosphate or d-fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) and calcium chloride was evaluated. METHODS Four series of experiments for each Ca + P couple were carried out by varying amino acid concentrations (2% or 4%), temperature (25 degrees C or 37 degrees C), and pH. The extent of precipitation was estimated by visual inspection and particle count. The areas of maximal compatibility (ie, areas showing the complete absence of precipitates) were drawn from the precipitation curves. RESULTS The precipitation extent was considerably higher in conditions mimicking body environment for both Ca + P couples. The compatibility area at 37 degrees C and 2% amino acid for CaCl2 + Na2HPO4 admixtures was included within 2.50 mmol/L CaCl2 and 2.22 mmol/L Na2HPO4, whereas that for CaCl2 + FDP was within 33.3 mmol/L CaCl2 and 10.0 mmol/L FDP (20 mEq/L of P). Unlike inorganic calcium phosphate, FDP dicalcium salt precipitation was kinetically delayed and was only minimally enhanced by decreasing amino acid concentration. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicated that the use of FDP as the P source in parenteral nutrition solutions was effective in avoiding the life-threatening calcium phosphate precipitation. Thus, the addition of FDP to TPN admixtures represents a safe choice, allowing the simultaneous administration of high amounts of Ca and P in restricted fluid volumes, even at low amino acid concentrations.

Abstract
Parental mineral-containing solutions for LBW infants should be started soon after birth. For the initiation of parenteral nutrition and during short-term therapy for less than 2 weeks' duration, LBW infants should receive parenteral nutrition solutions at rates of approximately 120-130 ml/kg/day, containing minerals at the following concentrations: Ca 15 mM, P 15 mM and Mg 2.5 mM. For optimal growth and nutrient utilization, however, LBW infants maintained on parenteral nutrition at rates of 120-130 ml/kg/day for 2 or more weeks should receive mineral concentrations of Ca 20 mM, P 20 mM and Mg 2.5 mM. In addition, these latter mixtures must contain amino acids in concentrations greater than or equal to 2.2 g% and cysteine-HCl must be provided. As newer formulations emerge, these recommendations may be modified. For human milk-fed LBW infants, after 1 week of enteral feeding, Ca and P should be supplied as fortifiers. Ca 2-3 mmol/kg/day and P 1.5-2.0 mmol/kg/day should be provided in addition to human milk. Magnesium supplementation of human milk is unnecessary. These recommendations assume that the intake of human milk is approximately 200 ml/kg/day and will decrease as more bioavailable mineral salts are found. For LBW infants fed commercial formula, the intake of Ca should be greater than 3.5 mmol/kg/day, P 2.5 mmol/kg/day and Mg 0.2 mmol/kg/day. These recommendations assume reported bioavailabilities of mineral salts. If more bioavailable sources are found, these recommendations will decrease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS If calcium and phosphorus are administered to very low birth weight infants in amounts larger than those currently used in standard parenteral nutrition solutions, apparent retention of calcium and phosphorus (intake minus urinary excretion) will increase and bone mineralization will improve. DESIGN Randomized, controlled, double-blind trial. SETTING Neonatal intensive care unit. PATIENTS Twenty-four very low birth weight infants (< 1.2 kg) expected to receive parenteral nutrition exclusively for approximately 3 weeks beginning 3 days after birth. INTERVENTIONS Infants received parenteral nutrition solutions, either the standard mixture containing 1.25 mmol calcium and 1.5 mmol phosphorus per deciliter (group STAND: n = 12, birth weight 921 +/- 171 gm, gestational age 27 +/- 2 weeks (mean +/- SD)) or 1.7 mmol calcium and 2.0 mmol phosphorus per deciliter (group HIGH: n = 12, 857 +/- 180 gm, 27 +/- 2 weeks). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Intake, urinary excretion, and apparent retention of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium every 3 days during parenteral nutrition therapy. Serum indexes of mineral status twice during therapy. Bone mineral content of the distal segment of the left radius at 1, 4, 8, and 26 weeks. RESULTS Apparent calcium retention (1.2 +/- 0.2 vs 1.6 +/- 0.2 mmol.kg-1.d-1) and phosphorus retention (1.4 +/- 0.2 vs 1.8 +/- 0.4 mmol.kg-1.d-1) differed significantly (p < 0.01) between groups STAND and HIGH, respectively; neither changed with the duration of parenteral nutrition therapy. Serum calcium, magnesium, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and osteocalcin concentrations were similar in both groups. Serum phosphorus concentration was significantly higher in group HIGH than in group STAND (p = 0.025). The absolute bone mineral content and the rate of increase in bone mineral content between 1 and 4, 1 and 8, and 1 and 26 weeks were significantly greater in group HIGH than in group STAND. CONCLUSIONS Increased parenteral intakes of calcium and phosphorus resulted in greater retention of these minerals during parenteral nutrition therapy and in greater bone mineral content after therapy.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN)-related bone disease remains a problem in patients of all ages. Understanding of the pathogenesis of PN-related bone disease is complicated by the effect of underlying illnesses, therapeutic interventions, and pre-existing nutrition deficiencies before the initiation of PN therapy. Interrelation of various nutrients, for example, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, in their effects on bone mineralization, demands simultaneous assessment of the role of multiple nutrients and increases the difficulty in defining the role of a single nutrient in the development of bone disease. However, recent reports indicate that there exist a number of factors important in the development of PN-related bone disease and some factors such as increased mineral requirement are unique to growing infants whereas other factors such as aluminum toxicity may be common to both adult and pediatric populations. Nonnutritional factors, including chronic use of potent loop diuretics and altered acid-base status, can affect urine mineral loss, cell metabolism, and bone mineralization, particularly in small, preterm infants. Current evidence indicates that the cause of PN-related bone disease is multifactorial, and the prevention of PN-related bone disease awaits better delineation of the exact sequence of pathogenic events.

Abstract
The minerals calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) are essential for tissue structure and function. Recent studies have resulted in a more rational approach to the management of mineral intake in preterm infants receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN). For preterm infants requiring PN, the use of PN solutions with a Ca content of 1.25-1.5 mmol/dl (50-60 mg/dl), a P content of 1.29-1.45 mmol/dl (40-45 mg/dl), and an Mg content of 0.2-0.3 mmol/dl (5-7 mg/dl) is supported by studies of mineral homeostasis with serial chemical and calciotropic hormone measurements, standard balance studies, and improved radiographic indices of bone mineralization. For infants requiring EN, an intake of approximately 4 mmol (200 mg) of Ca, 3.2 mmol (100 mg) of P, and 0.33 mmol (8 mg) of Mg/kg/day based on an average retention rate of 64% for Ca, 71% for P, and 50% for Mg should be sufficient to meet the requirements of preterm infants in early infancy. This level of intake is supported by data from balance studies using standard and stable isotope techniques, changes in bone mineral content (BMC) measurements, and calciotropic hormone data. Based on the timing of development of fractures and rickets, changes in BMC, and skeletal growth data, the increased Ca and P intake should continue for at least 3 months after birth or until reaching a body weight of about 3.5 kg. In addition, nonnutritional factors may have the potential to increase mineral loss and disturb mineral homeostasis; chronic diuretic therapy increases mineral loss, and aluminum contamination of nutrients theoretically may compound any skeletal disorder. Thus, attention to the level of mineral intake and factors important in mineral loss and mineral metabolism should optimize mineral retention in small preterm infants.
