Introduction: Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) neonates are increased risk for potential nutritional compromise. These infants are born with limited nutrient reserves, immature metabolic pathways and increased nutrient demands. These neonates require specialized nutritional support due to their biochemical immaturity, faster growth rates and increased metabolic demand. These demands results from increased risk of several problems such as respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, gastro-oesophageal reflux, apnoea and other factors related to feeding intolerance.

It is necessary to ascertain whether the thrombocytopenia is due to hyperdestruction or hypoproduction. Hyperdestructive thrombocytopenias are caused by extramedullary destruction of platelets while hypoproductive thrombocytopenias are caused by a decreased production of platelets by the bone marrow. Platelet indices (PIs) can be used as predictive markers of ITP in thrombocytopenic patients, thus avoiding bone marrow aspirations.

Glycotoxins or advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are coming under the limelight of research field now-a-days.  These glycotoxins when get excessively produced in the body; are posing a risk factor for many metabolic disorders like diabetes, cardiac disorders and cancers and are also responsible for premature aging and related diseases like cataract, Alzheimer’s disease etc. Researchers have proven that buttermilk which acquires a prime importance in Ayurveda has the potential to eliminate or significantly inactivate these system produced glycotoxins.
