Sodium and Growth in Preterm Infants: A Review

Benjamin R Araya,
Alisha A Ziegler,
Connie C Grobe
et al.

Abstract: Aim: This article is intended to review the relationship between sodium homeostasis and growth, outline reasons why preterm infants may become sodium deficient, and share data from our group and others regarding the potential benefits of dietary sodium supplementation. Background: Despite tremendous efforts over the past 20 years to optimize neonatal nutrition, postnatal growth failure in preterm infants remains a significant problem. Compelling associations have been i… Show more

“…Sodium ubiquitously exists in many foods and beverages, and higher sodium intake is considered a contributing factor to high rates of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. On the other hand, additional dietary sodium may be provided to preterm infants to improve postnatal growth, given the differences in how preterm-born and term-born may respond to sodium [34]. However, evidence linking supplemental sodium intake and preterm children's neurodevelopmental outcomes is limited and inconclusive.…”
