D. Schramm et al., CONTROL OF THE RENAL-FUNCTION DURING NEON ATAL INTENSIVE-CARE - COMPARISON OF DOPPLER ULTRASOUND FINDINGS AND PARAMETERS OF RENAL-FUNCTION, Klinische Padiatrie, 210(1), 1998, pp. 34-38
33 neonates between 4th and 7th day of life were enrolled in the study
. The data of renal Doppler sonography were compared to renal excretio
n parameters. In infants with respiratory distress a decrease of creat
inine clearance as well as an increase of fractional sodium excretion
were associated with reduced peak systolic flow velocity in the A. ren
alis. The results suggest the importance of the Doppler sonography in
the monitoring of the renal function in the newborn intensive care.
