Effect of phototherapy on nutrients utilization in newborn infants with jaundice.
Article Dans Anglais | IMSEAR | ID: sea-38146
ABSTRACT
The effect of phototherapy on digestion and absorption of nutrients was performed in 25 male, newborn infants with hyperbilirubinemia. The infants were divided into 2 groups; one group was fed with lactose formula whereas the other group received the non-lactose formula. The quantities of daily volume, fat and energy intakes of both groups were similar. Protein intake was significantly higher in the latter group. During 72-hours of phototherapy, there were decreases in serum bilirubin in all infants and mean weight change was decreased in infants fed with non-lactose formula. Treatment by phototherapy in jaundiced infants did not affect protein, fat and energy absorption. The presence of loose stool, lower stool pH and trace in reducing substances in some subjects fed with lactose formula suggests mild lactose intolerance. Prospective study in clinical trial needs to be further assessed and clarified on other nutrients such as amino acids and riboflavin status in these infants during phototherapy.
