Patient's question:
Doctor, is it okay to take medication if the copper and phosphorus test indicators in children are too high? Do you need surgery? Is there a good solution? Does anyone have any experience with this?Doctor's answer:
Copper is an essential trace element in the human body. Chinese people have slightly higher copper levels, and your child's copper levels are slightly above the normal range. There is no need to be anxious, as the difference between this and copper poisoning is still significant, and it will not harm your child. Copper is present in the natural environment, and some tableware, especially copper-made items like copper hot pots and small spoons, as well as individual medicine cabinets, may contain it. The calcium and phosphorus intake by the human body must maintain a certain ratio. If phosphorus intake is excessive, it will form insoluble calcium phosphate and be excreted from the body, inevitably leading to calcium loss. Due to dietary and water sources, Chinese people's phosphorus intake has already far exceeded the recommended levels. This is particularly true during infancy, where phosphorus overload can lead to a series of serious consequences. It is recommended to seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
