Can I use infatrini milk in patient pulmonary stenosis with CHD and renal impairment
Hossam Elgnainy Answered question May 16, 2025
What is Infatrini?
- Infatrini is a high-energy, nutrient-dense, ready-to-feed infant formula.
- Designed for infants with growth failure, increased energy needs, or fluid restrictions.
- Provides 100 kcal/100 mL and contains relatively high protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus compared to standard formulas.
…
Key Concerns in This Case:
1. Pulmonary Stenosis and CHD:
- These conditions can lead to increased energy expenditure and failure to thrive.
- Infatrini can be beneficial for providing adequate calories in fluid-restricted patients.
2. Renal Impairment:
- Renal impairment often requires restriction of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and possibly protein, depending on severity.
- Infatrini is high in these electrolytes, which may exacerbate renal issues, especially if GFR is significantly reduced or if the patient has oliguria/anuria.
…
Summary:
Condition
Infatrini Use
Notes
Pulmonary Stenosis
Yes (beneficial)
High energy content supports growth
CHD (with fluid restriction)
Yes (common use)
Useful for energy in limited fluid volume
Renal Impairment
Caution / Possibly No
Risk of electrolyte overload, especially if moderate/severe
…
- If Infatrini must be used, monitor serum electrolytes and fluid status closely.
