Patient's question:
Medical Description: The baby is 1 year and 4 months old. Yesterday, the trace elements were tested as follows: iron 5.80 mmol/L (7.52--11.82), lead 67.0 μg/L (1.0--60.0), calcium 1.85 mmol/L (2.05--2.80). Other results were normal. The baby was tested for trace elements at 6 months and all were normal. The baby is in good spirits, weighs 11 kg, and has average appetite. Breastfeeding with supplementary food. Onset time is unclear. No treatment or medication has been taken. Desired Help: Is the lead level excessively high? Can the above three elements be treated simultaneously? What medication or dietary therapy would be more effective, faster, and without side effects? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello. 67.0ug/L is just slightly above the standard and does not constitute poisoning. If a child's blood lead level exceeds 100 micrograms per liter, regardless of whether there are clinical symptoms or other biochemical changes, the internationally recognized diagnostic criteria diagnose it as child lead poisoning. There is no need to worry too much.Guidelines: The baby is still very young, so it is recommended not to take medication. Give the baby a cup of apple juice every day, and you can also give him carrots. After juicing, cook them and mix with milk powder, then eat more vitamin C-rich foods, such as kiwis.
