We measured cord blood zinc protoporphyrin/heme (ZnPP/H) and plasma ferritin in healthy African-American and Hispanic newborns, matched by gestation with Caucasian newborns. In these at-risk minorities, cord ZnPP/H was higher and plasma ferritin lower, supporting the feasibility of screening newborns at-risk for iron deficiency at birth.
我们对健康的非裔美国和西班牙裔新生儿的脐带血锌原卟啉/血红素(ZnPP/H)和血浆铁蛋白进行了测量,并将其与白人新生儿按孕周进行匹配。在这些高危少数族裔中,脐带血ZnPP/H较高而血浆铁蛋白较低,这支持了在出生时对缺铁高危新生儿进行筛查的可行性。
