The sodium (Na) concentration and the ratio of Na to potassium (K; Na/K) in human milk are
used commonly as biomarkers of subclinical mastitis, but limited data exist on their …

Introduction: This prospective longitudinal study examined changes in milk sodium
concentration (Na) and sodium: potassium ratio (Na: K), microbiological culture, milk …

Subclinical mastitis, as defined by raised milk sodium/potassium (Na/K) ratio (> 0.6), is
common among several populations and is associated with poor infant growth (Filteau et al …

Subclinical mastitis is an asymptomatic inflammatory condition that can be difficult to define
and diagnose. In the dairy industry, subclinical mastitis is diagnosed by milk somatic cell …

Background: Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland.
We examined the effects of SCM on human milk (HM) composition, infant growth, and HM …

Although an elevated sodium concentration in human milk is suggested to be an indicator of
mastitis, it is unclear whether elevated sodium concentrations are associated with …

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the concentrations of sodium (Na+) and
potassium (K+) ions in milk of lactating dairy cows with and without subclinical mastitis as …

Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an inflammatory state of the lactating mammary gland, which is
asymptomatic and may have negative consequences for child growth. The objectives of this …

Objective: Human milk (HM) sodium (Na) and potassium (K) concentrations, as well as the
Na and K ratio (Na: K), are associated with stages of lactation and breast health. Portable …

Background: Developing a simple quantitative tool for mastitis diagnosis is essential. The
Ion-Selective Electrode for sodium has been reported to reliably measure sodium …
