Several general trace element checks

The lack of trace elements can cause many diseases, so the complications of trace element deficiency make many people particularly worried. They are worried that once they lack trace elements, it will cause serious harm to their bodies. Therefore, they want to fully understand several general trace element checks. The following is a specific answer so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

The main trace elements checked are: calcium, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium and blood lead. Nowadays, automobile exhaust contains a large amount of lead, which is usually suspended at a height of about one meter from the ground. Therefore, it is easier for children to inhale the lead and cause lead poisoning. Therefore, it is recommended that you give your child tea to lower blood lead. Secondly, a seven-month-old child should not use a stroller if possible, as the child is only about one meter high in a stroller.

Children's trace elements can be tested or not

Experts stress that there is no need for children to undergo trace element testing because there is no risk of trace element deficiency given the current living standards. As the name suggests, trace elements are essential to the human body, but only in trace amounts. No matter how old the child is, as long as they can eat normally, there is no question of deficiency. The main trace elements in children's bodies are iron, zinc and copper. The normal values ​​are: Iron: 60-170ug/dl, Zinc: 80-140ug/dl, Copper: 70-150ug/dl. These are the normal values ​​provided in textbooks. Each hospital will have different reference values ​​depending on the experimental methods provided by the laboratory. Generally, if you go to a regular hospital for trace element testing, you will get about 6 or 7 kinds of trace elements tested, and such test results are credible.

Many parents now have a misunderstanding. They like to test their children's trace elements at every turn. After the test results come out, parents who find their children "qualified" are very happy, while parents who find their children "unqualified" become anxious and nervous, and give their children "crazy supplements" based on the test results.

In fact, in the normal process of children's health care, parents generally do not need to take their children for trace element testing unless the child shows obvious clinical symptoms such as weight loss and picky eating. Trace element testing should not be a routine physical examination item. Parents should just pay attention to properly matching their children's diet. If you want to know whether your child's nutrition is balanced, in fact, a hemoglobin test during a health check-up is enough. Hemoglobin can show whether the child is anemic, and anemia is a symptom that children may currently experience.

Many people want to have a comprehensive understanding of the trace element examination items, and find out how many trace element examination items there are, and then ensure the health of their body through trace element examination. The above content provides a specific answer. You can have a comprehensive understanding, and then through trace element examination, ensure that your body is not lacking in trace elements.
