Using exosome microRNAs to identify metabolic bone disease in premature infants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the potential of exosome microRNAs as biomarkers for metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) in preterm infants. MBDP is a serious condition characterized by insufficient calcium and phosphorus, leading to complications in bone health. The study will analyze plasma exosomes from preterm infants to identify specific microRNAs that could serve as early diagnostic markers for this condition. By focusing on infants with a gestational age of 37 to 41 weeks and under 28 days old, the research seeks to improve early detection methods for MBDP.
