Immunoreactive calcitonin (iCT) was measured in 19 infants with neonatal hypocalcemia. The infants had a variety of neonatal diseases and stresses. iCT levels were generally elevated to two to 20 times the adult values. Poor correlation existed between the infant age and the level of iCT or between iCT alone and the serum calcium. However, there was significant correlation between the serum calcium and the ratio of the iCT to infant age from conception, suggesting that both infant age and iCT levels in combination may be related to hypocalcemia. Also, it appears that a variety of neonatal stresses may be associated with increased sensitivity to the hypocalcemic effect of iCT, as well as increased levels of iCT.
对19例新生儿低钙血症患儿测定了免疫反应性降钙素（iCT）。这些患儿患有多种新生儿疾病并承受着各种压力。iCT水平通常升高至成人值的2至20倍。婴儿年龄与iCT水平之间，或单独的iCT与血清钙之间相关性较差。然而，血清钙与自受孕起iCT与婴儿年龄的比值之间存在显著相关性，这表明婴儿年龄和iCT水平共同作用可能与低钙血症有关。此外，似乎多种新生儿压力可能与对iCT低钙血症作用的敏感性增加以及iCT水平升高有关。
