Osteopenia en bebés prematuros
Nombres alternativos:
Raquitismo en neonatos; Raquitismo en bebés prematuros; Huesos frágiles en bebés prematuros; Huesos débiles en bebés prematuros
SÃntomas:
La mayorÃa de los bebés prematuros nacidos antes de las 30 semanas de gestación presentan algún grado de osteopenia, pero no tendrán ningún sÃntoma fÃsico.
Los bebés con osteopenia severa pueden tener disminución en el movimiento o inflamación de un brazo o una pierna debido a una fractura desconocida.
Signos y exámenes:
La osteopenia es más difÃcil de diagnosticar en bebés prematuros que en adultos. Los exámenes más comunes utilizados para diagnosticar y controlar la osteopenia de la prematurez son, entre otros:
- RadiografÃas
- Exámenes de sangre para verificar los niveles de calcio, fósforo y una proteÃna llamada fosfatasa alcalina
- EcografÃa
