• Neonatal Tetany

  Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism in the mother during pregnancy is known to result in a high rate of fetal complications; spontaneous abortions, still births, and neonatal tetany occur in excessive incidence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Abstract Findings in a case of neonatal tetany in a child whose mother had elevated blood parathyroid hormone levels because of a parathyroid adenoma are given. The child was found to have hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyperphosphatemia. [annals.org]

  CASES of neonatal tetany not due to rickets were reported in the early 1900's. It was only during the last 30 to 40 years, however, that the relation between tetany in the newborn infant and hypocalcemia has been elucidated. [nejm.org]

  The latter has two main peaks of occurrence: during the first 48 hours following delivery (early hypocalcemia), or after the second part of the initial week of life (late hypocalcemia or classical neonatal tetany) (1). [link.springer.com]

  Symptoms may include: Irritability Muscle twitches Jitteriness Tremors Poor feeding Lethargy Seizures The symptoms of hypocalcemia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis. [stanfordchildrens.org]

• Suggestibility

  Our observations suggest that taking large doses of calcium carbonate during pregnancy may be a potential cause of neonatal hypocalcemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Withdrawn

  Serum calcium levels normally decline to nadir values (9 mg/dL) at 24 hours of age as the newborn is abruptly withdrawn from the transplacental supply of maternal calcium, and then increase to steady state values as secretion of PTH increases and that [clinicaladvisor.com]

The consulting endocrinologist may choose to prescribe any of the various vitamin D supplements depending on laboratory workup findings, and oral calcium supplementation for outpatient therapy. [physio-pedia.com]

(See Prognosis, Clinical, Workup, and Treatment.) The definition of hypocalcemia is based on both gestational and postnatal age in neonates and is different for children. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiological workup was suggestive of hypocalcemia. The child was further worked up for the etiology of early-onset hypocalcemia. The child was full term with no features of growth retardation. [jcnonweb.com]

• Calcium Decreased

  For every 0.1 increase in pH, ionized calcium decreases by about 0.05 mmol/L. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Acidotic pH decreases Ca2+ binding to proteins. Calcium homeostasis is complex! [ Kelly, 2013 ] Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) directly increased serum calcium levels. [pedemmorsels.com]

• Prolonged QT Interval

  (1) onset during the first 72 hours after birth (2) convulsions (3) ECG changes (prolonged QT interval, conduction abnormalities) (4) tetany (5) transient course Laboratory testing: (1) low serum calcium. [meducator3.net]

  The causes of prolonged QT interval in neonates are hypocalcemia, hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcemia, hypothermia, postcardiac arrest, congenital long QT syndrome, and drugs. Etiological workup was suggestive of hypocalcemia. [jcnonweb.com]

  The presence of a prolonged QT interval by electrocardiography is a physiologic marker of hypocalcemia. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Epidemiology Occurrence in the United States The incidence of neonatal hypocalcemia varies in different studies. Data on the incidence and prevalence rates in the neonatal period are limited. [emedicine.medscape.com]

To understand the pathophysiology of neonatal hypocalcemia that accompanies this disorder, transplacental calcium dynamics were studied in female sheep during the last trimester of pregnancy and in their fetal lambs after hysterotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It has been postulated that the pathophysiologic mechanism of the hypocalcemia in this syndrome is transient hypoparathyroidism. [annals.org]

IDMs demonstrate a delay in this postnatal parathyroid hormone response, the pathophysiology of which is not well established. [jemds.com]

These bone density losses are significantly reversed within twelve months of weaning. [2] Pathophysiology Hypocalcemia manifests as central nervous system (CNS) irritability and poor muscular contractility. [emedicine.medscape.com]

CONCLUSIONS: Although lack of Vitamin D is preventable and curable, it is an important health problem for newborns in Turkey. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusion: Phototherapy-induced hypocalcemia can be prevented by covering the head during phototherapy. [dovepress.com]
