Q: can you use isomil milk formula in infants with msud( maple syrup urine disease)?

Probably not: This disease is because of a defect in metabolism of leucine, isoleucine and valine, all present in protein. I believe that mead johnosn may be making a diet for this disease but it is a long time since i had the care of a msud patient----- a very difficult disease to treat and only diet can prevent the mental retardation that is otherwise inevitable.

Q: is it possible for a 3-4 months old infant to develop gout? diagnosis was based on presence of urine crystals in diaper. no family history of gout.

Unlikely.: Gout crystals need a microscope to b seen. Some sources say that if crystals persist for 4-5 days, infant may be dehydrated. Large white crystals found in diapers that r visible to naked eye r a product of the chemical that makes modern diapers “super-absorbent:” sodium polyacrylate. These polymer beads can leak out of lining if diaper very full or torn.

Q: i have a fetish of playing with infant/toddler diapers. can i get std if i touched the urine from the diaper and fingered myself? (hpv, trichomonas, gonorrhea, etc...)

No risk, no worry: For obvious reasons, STDs are extremely rare in infants or toddlers. And even if an STD were present, there would be little or no risj from such contact. Don't worry about it.

Question 1

what is the best way to cleanse vaginal area of infant for urine collection?

Accepted Answer

Urine collection: Just simple soap and water before you apply a urine bag. If the purpose of the urine collection is other than a urinalysis, e.g., to rule out urinary infection, the best procedure should be a bladder catheterization performed by her doctor.

Question 2

infant 19 months sodium count in urine. 680 excessive urine?

Accepted Answer

Urine and blood test: The amount of sodium in the urine is very variable. It depends on how much sodium you eat and how well hydrated you are. A better way to assess sodium would be to check urine and blood at the same time and do some calculations.

Question 3

my infant has decreased urine output and  is teething. is the decreased urine output something to be concerned with? he is eating and drinking normal.

Accepted Answer

Basic rule : If an infant is wetting at least every 6 hours and willing to drink/feed/play the output is fine.

Question 4

what does it mean if my infant's urine smells really bad?

Accepted Answer

Stinky pee=need2see: We all know poop can be stinky, but the pee should not be. The main concern is urinary tract infection (uti), which can lead to severe kidney infection if untreated. It is not easy to diagnose a UTI by sight or smell, so a properly obtained urine culture is important. Sometimes we find no infection, just a temporary bad smell, but this is one of those infections we would not want to miss!

Question 5

what homeopathic remedy works best for infant's urine infection?

Accepted Answer

None: Urinary tract infection in infants can lead to very serious infections of the blood and spinal fluid and should be treated with IV antibiotics in a hospital setting.

Question 6

infant son was diagnosed with a uti using urine collected with a catheter.  the results showed e.coli count of 100, 000 cfus/ml. is this a lot?

Accepted Answer

Pretty standard : The diagnosis of a UTI is generally considered valid when the cfu count is > 10000-100000/ml on a cath urine & e coli is one of the most common germs found. If the count was down <10, 000 on a cath specimen i would consider it  suspious &<1000 a contaminant.The count number doesn't define how sick the kid is.That is based on other symptoms/tests.

Question 7

can you use isomil milk formula in infants with msud( maple syrup urine disease)?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: This disease is because of a defect in metabolism of leucine, isoleucine and valine, all present in protein. I believe that mead johnosn may be making a diet for this disease but it is a long time since i had the care of a msud patient----- a very difficult disease to treat and only diet can prevent the mental retardation that is otherwise inevitable.

Question 9

infant 9 months old, has very little to no urine. drinking well had a runny tummy a few days ago and wasn't eating well.

Accepted Answer

Basic rule : If an infant is wetting at least every 6 hours and willing to drink/feed/play the output is fine. If little or no output in 8 hrs or more the kid should be seen.

Question 10

i have a fetish of playing with infant/toddler diapers. can i get std if i touched the urine from the diaper and fingered myself? (hpv, trichomonas, gonorrhea, etc...)

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: For obvious reasons, STDs are extremely rare in infants or toddlers. And even if an STD were present, there would be little or no risj from such contact. Don't worry about it.
