How are calcium and phosphorus levels monitored in neonates?
Calcium and phosphorus levels in neonates are typically monitored through blood tests. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels can provide critical information about a neonate's mineral status. In some cases, urine tests may also be conducted to evaluate renal excretion of these minerals. Regular monitoring is essential, especially for preterm infants, to ensure timely intervention if imbalances are detected.
