Question 1

doctor, an infant weigh 8kg mistakenly given a wrong dose of tylenol 1500mg or 15ml within 24hrs. is that enough to cause liver failure in infant ?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: Kindly take your infant to the hospital right away for investigations and receiving an antidote as per evaluation, if really ingested 1500 mg, good luck

Question 2

doctor, please how much of tylenol overdose in mg or ml within 24hrs is considered overdose in infant weigh 8kg that can cause liver failure? thank u.

Accepted Answer

Amount vs weight: A single dose of 150 mg/kg or here 150X8=1200 mg will produce liver damage. A blood acetomenophen level of over 150 mcg/ml at 4 hrs from ingestion or 5 @ 24 hrs suggests probable damage. The same dose spread out evenly over 24 hrs may not be toxic. Blood tests are done to determine level of toxicity at any point that overdose is suspected.

Question 3

can the infanrix hexa vaccine (which includes hepatitis b) cause elevated liver enzymes ast and alt? if yes, is this dangerous for an infant?

Accepted Answer

Vaccine unlikely to: cause liver injury, which is usually detected by analyzing AST and ALT.  Mild elevations of AST and ALT might be seen from inflammation of the muscle of the thigh from the injection itself, but this quickly resolves.  The vaccine has had extensive studies and is highly recommended.

Question 4

new born baby has a 200 (pyrethins and piperonyl butoxide) gpt enzyme of the liver? is that ok? or too high? and what is the mormal level? is it 60 gpt ?

Accepted Answer

Why checked?: Newborns don't usually have their ggtp checked unless there is a concern for liver problems. More information is needed to address further.

Question 5

what the level of oxygen can harm infant?

Accepted Answer

Depends: When giving oxygen therapy to an infant, the lowest level should be given to maintain saturation above 92%. Studies show that giving 50% oxygen for several days casues toxicity and using 100% for even several hours can have deleterious effects.

Question 6

what is the level of bilirubin in the blood for it to be considered severe in infants?

Accepted Answer

: That depends on the clinical situation. The age of the infant, premature or full term, type of bilirubin, increasing or not. Blood type and other blood studies. You get more specific answers on this site when you provide detailed background information with any question.You are welcome to start over with that information.

Question 7

my infant is of 7 days. his total  bilurubin level is 11.6. is he in danger ?

Accepted Answer

Ask his doctor: His doctor is the only doctor who knows his whole story, and can easily tell whether or not a total bilirubin level of 11.6 is ok or not. We on this public forum can only guess. That said, some full-term perfectly healthy breast-feeding babies run a bilirubin level between days 7 and 27 from about 18 down to 8, and it's fine for them. For one particular baby on a public forum, it's hard to guess.

Question 8

my infant (boy) is 7 and half and his hb is 10.5 against 11+ .. is that level healthy? he was breastfed.

Accepted Answer

Nadir: Term infants generally reach a nadir (low) hemoglobin around 9 months, about the time when maternal stores of iron have been depleted.  Timing of this drop varies some with premature babies and degree of drop may be more dramatic if mother was anemic during pregnancy .  Although not technically considered anemic at 10.5, it may drop further over the next several weeks.

Question 9

if an infant's o2 levels get too low from something smothering - but re obtain oxygen again before going into arrest (needing cpr)- can they have permanent consequences? or would the infant not be able to come back after damaging state starts?

Accepted Answer

No uniform answer: Infants have a better ability than older kids or adults in tolerating such events. They are also variable in consequence by age of kid/duration of event/other co-morbidities. It is certainly something you want to avoid, but I have seen kids go through such events that seemed very bleek at the time grow into successful adults.

Question 10

what is the normal t4 and tsh levels in infants?

Accepted Answer

Tsh &gt; 40 mU/L: All infants with a low T4 concentration and a TSH concentration greater than 40 mU per L are considered to have congenital hypothyroidism and should have immediate confirmatory serum testing. Replacement levothyroxine (LT4) treatment should be initiated as soon as confirmatory samples have been taken, without waiting for the results
