Metabolic bone disease in preterm infants: two cases report

Premature infants are at risk of abnormal skeletal mineralization and low bone mass. We report two cases of osteopenia in preterm babies. The patient’s medical history as well as diagnostic procedures assessing skeletal status (biochemical tests and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry – DXA) were presented. The study also aims to discuss risk factors for metabolic bone disease in these cases
