Infants need about 100 mL of water/kg body weight per day, so a 5 kg infant needs about 500 mL and a 10 kg infant needs about 1 liter (3) . Healthy breastfed infants can get all the water they need with the motherâs milkâ assuming their mothers produces enough milk, which all healthy mothers should.
Tumor markers are measurable biochemicals that are associated with a malignancy. They are either produced by tumor cells (tumor-derived) or by the body in response to tumor cells (tumor-associated). They are typically substances that are released into the circulation and thus measured in the blood.
1 The tumor marker tests check for two substances in the blood that colorectal cancer may produce: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9. 2  The tests can help determine the effectiveness of treatment and, sometimes, disease recurrence.
