Pediatric patients who receive parenteral nutrition (PN) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) have very high calcium and phosphorus requirements for bone mineralisation. Providing sufficient quantities of these electrolytes is difficult because of calcium and phosphorus solubility limitations in PN-/TPN-mixtures. The preparation and the analytical procedure of the special polyelectrolyte solution containing: 30 mmol Ca2+, 30 mmol P, and 20 mmol Mg2+ pro litre is described. The solution is compatible with fat emulsions and other ingredients of all-in-one-solutions.
