Testing aluminum levels in nutrition for premature babies
This study checks a new way to measure aluminum in the special nutrition given through IV tubes to premature babies in the hospital. Aluminum buildup can be harmful, so catching it early might help protect your baby's health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 37 weeks of pregnancy (premature)
- Your baby is in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) receiving IV nutrition
- Your baby has been receiving IV nutrition for at least 5 days
- Complete medical records are available for your baby
- You are willing to give written permission for your baby to participate

This study checks how much of certain proteins (amino acids) premature babies need when they get all their nutrition through an IV. It aims to make sure babies get the right amounts to grow well.
This study looks at how much phenylalanine, methionine, and histidine premature babies need while they are fed only through a vein (TPN). The goal is to make sure the nutrient amounts in TPN support healthy growth safely.
This trial tests whether adding sodium and fortified milk to nutrition helps very premature babies grow stronger and develop healthier body composition. Researchers will measure growth and body fat over time to see if these additions improve outcomes.
This trial tests if replacing sodium chloride with sodium acetate in IV nutrition can prevent metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) in preterm babies born before 33 weeks. If your baby is in the NICU and needs IV nutrition, this study may help keep their blood chemistry balanced.
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a specific IV iron (darbe plus IV iron) can help preterm babies need fewer blood transfusions while still keeping their iron levels in a safe range. It focuses on babies in the NICU who were born early, and it compares transfusion use and iron sufficiency over time.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements 4 times a week is better than daily iron for premature babies. It aims to improve hemoglobin levels at 6 months.
