Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in perinatal asphyxia
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of...
متن کاملMultiorgan System Failure from Perinatal Asphyxia
Perinatal asphyxia is one of the most devastating complications associated with the process of birth. Medical complications that arise from this condition affect not only the brain, but also many other organ systems critical for the maintenance of life. An increased understanding of the multifactorial nature of this disease will help all health care workers to improve care for patients with thi...
متن کاملSeizure-associated brain injury in term newborns with perinatal asphyxia.
BACKGROUND There is controversy over whether seizures, the most common manifestation of neonatal brain injury, may themselves damage the developing brain. OBJECTIVE To determine if neonatal seizures are independently associated with brain injury in newborns with perinatal asphyxia. METHODS Ninety term neonates were studied with MRI and single-voxel (1)H-MRS on median day of life 6 (range 1 ...
متن کاملNeurological Complications of Perinatal Asphyxia
The degree of asphyxia is best ascertained by measuring the amount of fetal acidosis determined by umbilical arterial blood. An umbilical arterial pH of less than 7.0 is seen in about 0.3% of deliveries.1 It indicates a severity of acidosis that places the fetus at risk for permanent neurological damage because of asphyxia. However, the outcome of infants with umbilical cord pH of less than 7.0...
متن کاملChromosomal aberrations in Perinatal Asphyxia
This study was conducted to evaluate the level of chromosomal damage in perinatal asphyxia and correlate it with severity of asphyxia. Fourty term neonates with asphyxia and twenty term babies without asphyxia were included in this case control study. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of birth for karyotyping and oxidative stress by serum malondealdehyde (MDA) estimation. The degree ...
