Official Title: Bone Turnover Markers in Children With Intestinal Failure After Optimization of Parenteral Nutrition
Brief Summary:
Poor bone health is a well-recognized but poorly understood complication in children with intestinal failure (IF) who are dependent on parenteral nutrition (PN).Previously, we showed that children with IF have decreased bone turnover markers.It is currently unknown if optimization of parenteral nutrition is related to improved bone turnover markers.Serum concentrations of bone markers (osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and c-telopeptide) will be measured in 30 IF patients treated at a…
