What is Children nutrition and toxicity?

The nutrients which are the dietary requirement of healthy children aged 2 – 11 years old are the children nutrients. These are nutrients are very essential for the growth and development of children. The content of the heavy metals in the body of the children more than the essential amount causes heavy metal toxicity in children. It is very essential to keep a check on the nutrition and the toxicity level in children. If the abnormalities in the levels of nutrients and toxins are not monitored correctly, it can lead to worse health conditions.

What is the Children nutrition and Toxicity Profile?

The Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile is a series of tests in the blood and the urine which helps in determining the healthy and proper functioning of various organs of the body in a child. The Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile help in measuring and monitoring the levels of the nutrients and the heavy metals in the body of children and thus provides for the evaluation of any abnormalities in the functioning of many organs like  Kidney, Liver, Heart etc.
There are various tests which are grouped under the following categories:

Complete hemogram(28 tests)
– G6PD(1 test)
– Iron Deficiency(3 tests)
– Lipid tests(8 tests)
– Liver tests(11 tests)
– Renal tests(5 tests)
– Thalassemia tests(5 tests)
– Toxic Elements(9 tests)
– Vitamins tests(3 tests)

Why did the doctor recommend the Childen Nutrition and Toxicity Profile to my kid?

If your kid is experiencing various symptoms related to the abnormalities in the levels of the various nutrients or heavy metals in the body, the health practitioner might suggest the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile.

What are the preparations required for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests?

– Fasting for 10 hours – 12 hours prior to the test is compulsory.

– No new medications are recommended before the test.

– Consult with the doctor about all the medications that your kid had been taking. If your kid is undergoing any treatment already, mention it to the doctor. The doctor might suggest stopping some of the medications or treatments which can affect the results of the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests.

What is the procedure of the Blood Test for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile?

The blood sample is collected first before the blood test conducted. The blood is collected by the process of venipuncture. The venipuncture  procedure is carried out by the following steps:

– The tourniquet or an elastic band is wrapped around the upper arm. The veins become clearer and more prominent. This is very helpful for locating the vein from which blood will be drawn.

 – A syringe or needle is used for the collection of the blood. The needle or the syringe is injected into the vein for collecting the sample of the blood.

– The blood is drawn from the vein and collected into the tube of the syringe. The elastic band or the tourniquet is removed.

– After unwrapping the tourniquet, the area around the puncture is cleaned with an antiseptic. Applying antiseptic helps in preventing any further infection in the future.

– A cotton swab is dabbed or a bandage is put on the spot of the puncture for preventing bleeding. The collected sample of the blood is then sent for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile.

– In the case of infants, the blood sample is collected by a pinprick on the heels of the baby.

What is the procedure of the urine test for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile?

For the urine test, a sample of the urine of your kid has to be collected. The procedure is very simple. You will be provided with a container for the collection of the urine of your kid by the diagnostic centre or the laboratory. You will be provided with all the guidelines and the instructions for the storage of the sample of the urine. The collection of the urine is done by the following steps:

– Flush out the urine after excretion right in the morning. After emptying your bladder, the urine sample is collected for the time period of the next 24 hours.

– The urine passed by your kid over the period of the next 24 hours should be collected in the container provided. The collected urine sample is then stored in a cool place or in the refrigerator.

– The sample is later sent to the laboratory or the diagnostic centre for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests.

What are the risks associated with the Children Nutrients and Toxicity Profile tests?

The tests which come under the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile are completely painless. There are no risks as well which are associated with tests. Some of the most common risks are related to the procedure of the collection of the blood by the venipuncture process. These most common risks are as follows:

– The condition of Haematoma which is characterized by the lump formation under the skin due to the clotting of blood is one of the most common risks which occurs during the venipuncture procedure.
Bruising and wounding can also occur during the procedure of the venipuncture.

– If the health practitioner has made too many punctures for finding the vein from where the blood sample will be collected for the tests, your kid might experience a little pain associated with that. This pain doesn’t persist. It wears off in a few hours or a day maximum. The feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness is very common among certain kids after the collection of the blood sample is done.

What is the price of the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests in India?

The price range of the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests starts from 300INR. The prices vary across the country. The prices of the tests are different depending on the location i.e. the city or the state the diagnostic centre or the laboratory is located.
 

  When will I get the results for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile?

You will get your results for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile tests within the next 24 hours – 36 hours after the tests are conducted.

How will I understand the result for the Children Nutrition and Toxicity Profile?
