Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess lipid metabolism in premature infants to identify common patterns depending on birth weight.
The levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoproteins were determined in 173 infants with moderately low birth
weight, very low birth weight and extremely low birth weight, including infants with intrauterine growth restriction, each weight
category recorded during the neonatal period. The study showed that extremely low birth weight newborns with intrauterine growth
restriction and very low birth weight newborns had significantly lower levels of lipid profile than infants with moderately low birth
weight. It is necessary to expand the study of methods for correcting lipid spectrum in low birth weight infants for rehabilitation of
low birth weight infants.
