Efficacy of calcium glycerophosphate vs conventional mineral salts for total parenteral nutrition in low-birth-weight infants: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract

To test the efficacy of calcium glycerophosphate (CaGlyP) vs the conventional mineral salts, calcium gluconate plus KH2PO4 + K2HPO4 (CaGluc + P), in promoting mineral retention, 72-h mineral balance, biochemical status, net acid excretion, and growth were assessed in 16 low-birth-weight infants receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) containing approximately 1.5 mmol Ca and P.kg-1.d-1 for 5 d. Net retentions of calcium (1.2 +/- 0.2 vs 1.0 …
