    Summary

    Newborns and infants show significant differences in whole blood cation levels, particularly zinc, copper, and chromium, compared to adults. Serum cation levels were similar, but urine showed notable variations in newborns.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pediatrics
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Cation levels in newborns and infants differ from adults.
    • Understanding these differences is crucial for pediatric health.
    • Trace element distribution patterns require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine and compare cation spectrograms in newborn and suckling infants versus adults.
    • To identify significant deviations in trace element distribution.
    • To supplement existing knowledge on cation values in early life stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Emission and atomic absorption spectrometry were used.
    • Spectrograms of 25 cations were analyzed in whole blood, serum, and urine.
    • Data were compared with established mean normal values for adults.

    Main Results:

    • Newborn whole blood showed highly significant deviations in zinc, copper, and chromium compared to adults.
    • Maternal and infantile whole blood exhibited similar differences.
    • Serum cation levels showed no significant differences between infants and adults.
    • Numerous cation differences were observed in infant urine.
    • First-trimester sucklings had significant manganese and copper deficits in whole blood.

    Conclusions:

    • Infant cation profiles, especially in whole blood and urine, differ markedly from adults.
    • Zinc, copper, and chromium are key elements showing significant early-life variations.
    • These findings highlight the dynamic nature of cation metabolism during infancy and the need for age-specific reference ranges.
