Research Progress of Early Protein’s Nutritional Assessment Value to Premature Infants of Different Gestational Ages
Organs of the premature infants develop immaturely, and infants are usualy pre-delivered because of the changes of intrauterine condition, so complications such as feeding difficulties often appear after birth; protein deficiency and lipid metabolism disorder may easily come along. So the early nutritional status not only decides the survival of the premature infants but also has lasting effects on their future living quality. According to the research findings, the shorter the gestational age of a premature infant is, the lower his ALB, PAB and TP wil be. PAB is the most sensitive index to evaluate the maturity and nutritional status of premature infants so far. Therefore, monitoring the SP level of premature infants has great guiding significance to the clinical reasonable nutritional treatment and disease prevention.
