How to treat children lead poisoning?

summary

There are two kinds of lead poisoning: hair lead detection and blood lead detection. Hair lead is easily polluted by the external environment, rather than reflected by the lead load in the body. At present, there is no method of sample processing to distinguish which part of hair lead is endogenous and which part is exogenous, On the other hand, it is released from bone tissue. Therefore, the blood lead level can only reflect the recent lead exposure. Under the condition of stable and low level of lead exposure, the blood lead level is an internationally recognized indicator, which is also the most practical and irreplaceable indicator in clinic.

How to treat children lead poisoning?

In case the child's blood lead is found to be on the high side, parents should not be confused. In fact, mild and moderate lead poisoning with blood lead content less than 250 μ g / L is asymptomatic; Moreover, if only high lead level is found without anemia, growth retardation, hyperactivity, inattention and other symptoms, it can not be said that the child is lead poisoning. In general, health education, environmental intervention and special diet adjustment are the main methods for children with lead poisoning below II; Under the guidance of doctors, the treatment of Ⅱ - Ⅲ should be based on the national recognized lead expelling food; IV-V blood lead should be reexamined within 48 hours. If it is confirmed, lead expelling treatment should be given immediately. Meanwhile, the causes of lead contamination should be traced and intervened to get rid of all lead pollution sources as soon as possible.

If the child's lead is not very serious, ordinary food therapy can achieve the desired effect. Parents can intentionally let their children eat the following foods rich in the following nutrients: calcium: children with calcium deficiency have a high risk of lead poisoning, because calcium and lead are divalent ions. Divalent ions compete with protein in the body. If calcium intake is insufficient and lead intake is high, then lead will combine with protein. Supplement of appropriate amount of calcium can reduce lead absorption, reduce lead toxicity and relieve lead poisoning symptoms. So calcium food, such as milk, is the main star of lead food.

Increase protein composition in the diet, eat more foods rich in vitamin C and acids. Garlic, carrot, kelp, mung bean, yogurt, milk tea, tea, black plum, spinach, cabbage, lettuce, lemon, persimmon, grape, banana, apple, bean products, Smilax glabra, money and other food or traditional Chinese medicine, some can combine with lead to reduce the toxicity of lead or become non-toxic, some can promote the discharge of lead from the body.

matters needing attention

High quality protein: especially the protein rich in sulfur-containing amino acids (such as cysteine), which is beneficial to reduce the concentration of lead in the body, can also reduce the symptoms of poisoning. Protein deficiency can reduce the ability of lead excretion, increase the retention of lead in the body and the sensitivity of the body to lead poisoning. Generally, the daily intake of protein should be 1.5g/kg body weight, of which animal protein and soy protein, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, poultry, fish and shrimp, soybeans and soybean products should account for more than 1 / 2.
