Copper Levels in Cholestatic Infants on Parenteral Nutrition

Abstract: Cholestasis does not appear to impair copper excretion enough to result in elevated levels. In fact, infants with gastrointestinal disorders may require higher than standard dosing. Monitoring copper levels appears to be necessary to appropriately regulate copper dosing for cholestatic infants receiving PN.

“…Studying 28 PN‐dependent children who had cholestasis and were receiving this same copper dose in PN, Corkins et al found only 1 patient with elevated copper levels and found hypocupremia in half of them. Corkins et al suggested that even higher than standard dosing may be necessary for children with gastrointestinal disorders 34 . In this regard, because of the high copper content in gastrointestinal fluids, recent guidelines appropriately recommend that copper intake should be increased by 10–15 µg/kg in PN of patients, especially in those with jejunostomy 35,36 .…”

“…53 Recent studies examining the practice of reducing or removing copper from PN solutions of cholestatic patients have shown that a standard intake of 20 mcg/kg/d for infants may be safe, and it is suggested that copper levels be assessed prior to reducing or removing copper from PN solutions. [54][55][56] Manganese supplementation may not be necessary for children with IFALD as manganese is a contaminant in PN solutions. 38 Therefore, use of individual trace element preparations vs a packaged trace element preparation may be the best practice in patients with IFALD.…”
