Other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism - what does this mean
Other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism are caused by an imbalance between the two minerals, leading to hypercalcaemia or hypocalcaemia. this can be caused by the mother's diet, a lack of vitamin d, or a genetic disorder. treatment typically involves dietary changes, calcium and magnesium supplements, and vitamin d supplementation.
What happens during the disease - other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism
Other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism are caused by an imbalance of hormones, such as parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin d, leading to inadequate absorption of calcium and magnesium in the small intestine. this can lead to a decrease in the concentration of these minerals in the blood, ultimately causing a wide range of symptoms such as hypotonia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a detailed history of the neonate's medical history.
- Perform a physical examination to assess the symptoms.
- Order laboratory tests to measure serum calcium and magnesium levels.
- Order an imaging study such as x-ray or ultrasound to evaluate the bones.
- Order genetic testing to evaluate for any potential genetic mutations.
- Perform a urine analysis to check for any metabolic abnormalities.
- Perform a skin biopsy to evaluate for any abnormalities in calcium and magnesium metabolism.
- Consult with a pediatric endocrinologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treating Other Transitory Neonatal Disorders of Calcium and Magnesium Metabolism

- Administering intravenous fluids
- Administering calcium and magnesium supplements
- Monitoring and managing electrolyte levels
- Managing any underlying conditions
- Providing dietary guidance
- Monitoring the infant’s vital signs
- Providing supportive care
- Monitoring for any signs of complications
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism - Prevention
The prevention of other transitory neonatal disorders of calcium and magnesium metabolism can be achieved through adequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy, including adequate calcium and magnesium intake, as well as through proper antenatal care and timely diagnosis of any underlying medical conditions.
