Why Do Newborns Need the Vitamin K Shot? A Yale Medicine pediatric expert explains how a simple shot at birth prevents dangerous—and potentially fatal—bleeding.

“# #Newborns arrive with almost no #vitaminK stored in their bodies. Vitamin K is the #nutrient that allows #blood to clot—without it, the body cannot stop #bleeding, from minor wounds to, in rare but serious cases, bleeding in the brain.”: buff.ly/dQ7uduz

All infants, regardless of sex, race or ethnic background, are at risk for Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) 🩸 

This persists until they start eating regular foods, usually at age 4-6 months, and until the normal intestinal bacteria start making Vitamin K.

All infants, regardless of sex, race or ethnic background, are at risk for Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) 🩸 This persists until they start eating regular foods, usually at age 4-6 months, and until the normal intestinal bacteria start making Vitamin K.

All babies are born with low levels of Vitamin K.

The injection is recommended within the first 6 hours of life.

Without it, babies are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding.

If they develop severe bleeding, over 20% will not survive it. #InfantMortality

To test their findings, the researchers isolated a protein associated with aging in the aortas of mice, and injected it into young mice to observe the results.

Animals treated with the protein had reduced physical performance, decreased grip strength, lower endurance, and lower balance and coordination compared to non-treated mice. They also had prominent markers of vascular aging.

The study identified a senoprotein, Gas6. Gas6 is a vitamin K dependent protein. The original study is paywalled, so I can't get details on whether Gas6 was carboxylated or not. Link to journal article: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
