Screening of Serum Alkaline Phosphatase and Phosphate Helps Early Detection of Metabolic Bone Disease in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Background: Extremely low birth weight (ELBW, <1,000 g) infants have a high risk of metabolic bone disease (MBD). Because of the late appearance of radiological signs, diagnosis of MBD in ELBW infants might be delayed, and its prevalence underestimated in this group of patients. This study ad...
