Atrial natriuretic peptide and patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Preterm infants with symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus had considerably raised plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide. Surgical ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus was associated with an immediate fall in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration. Thus left to right shunting and left atrial distension may cause atrial natriuretic peptide release in preterm infants wit...

OBJECTIVES Evaluate the role of NT-proBNP levels in Preterm neonates suffering from PDA and used as a screening tool for predicting HsPDA and guiding physicians to consider early echocardiographic evaluation. METHODS This is a monocentric prospective blind study which was conducted at Arar Central Hospital, Ar'ar, Saudi Arabia, during the period between Jan 2014 to June 2014. Thirty-three (33...
متن کاملAtrial natriuretic peptide and patent ductus arteriosus
normal healthy children.4 The association between the fall in atrial natriuretic peptide concentration and decrease in body weight after volume reduction by haemodialysis suggests that in children volume expansion releases atrial natriuretic peptide. In preterm infants plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations are considerably raised on the second day of life and decrease to normal withi...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Despite a large body of basic science and clinical research and clinical experience with thousands of infants over nearly 6 decades,(1) there is still uncertainty and controversy about the significance, evaluation, and management of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants, resulting in substantial heterogeneity in clinical practice. The purpose of this clinical report is to summarize the ev...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in African preterm infants.
During a 7 month period, April to October, 1984, 537 consecutive babies weighing upto 2000 gm were studied at the Kenyatta National Hospital's newborn unit. Of these 48 (8.9%) had murmurs suggestive of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Their mean birth weight was 1364 +/- 482 gm while the mean gestation was 30.5 weeks. The peak incidence occurred in the weight group 1001 to 1500 gm. 15 (31%) of a...
