Atrial natriuretic peptide and patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 with patent ductus arteriosus.

Atrial 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 کاملThe Use of N-Terminal-Pro-BNP in Preterm Infants
The use of natriuretic peptides in the neonatal population is emerging. B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-Pro-BNP (NTpBNP) are used in the adult population to assess myocardial function and volume loading. Their role in prognosis following cardiac surgery has also been identified. In preterm infants NTpBNP is becoming increasingly recognised as a potential screening tool for paten...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the correlation, according to postnatal age, between plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and echocardiographic parameters for the assessment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants with respiratory distress. METHODS We enrolled 42 preterm infants with respiratory distress who underwent serial echocardiographic evaluation with simult...
متن کاملB-Type Natriuretic Peptide Assay for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Measurement of plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been reported to be a useful bedside screening tool for the presence of hemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA) in neonates. This study was conducted to investigate the usefulness of a BNP assay as a biochemical...
