Refractory hypotension in preterm infants with adrenocortical insufficiency.
Five preterm, very low birthweight infants with severe hypotension and adrenocortical insufficiency are described. The profound hypotension was resistant to volume expansion and inotrope treatment, but responded promptly to corticosteroid treatment. A human corticotrophin releasing hormone (hCRH) test performed before corticosteroid treatment showed adequate pituitary response, and the endocrin...

متن کاملAdrenocortical Function in Preterm Infants
Adrenal hormones are essential for the timely differentiation and maturation of fetal organs and the regulation of intrauterine homeostasis. These hormones play com plex roles during fetal life, and they are believed to provide the cellular communi cation that coordinates maternalfetal interactions. Cortisol serves to modulate functional adaptations for extrauterine life in the perinatal per...
متن کاملTransient adrenocortical insufficiency of prematurity and systemic hypotension in very low birthweight infants.
OBJECTIVES A proportion of preterm, very low birthweight (VLBW, < 1500 g) infants may show inadequate adrenal response to stress in the immediate postnatal period. The human corticotrophin releasing hormone (hCRH) stimulation test was used to: (a) determine the relation between pituitary-adrenal response and systemic blood pressure in these infants; (b) characterise the endocrinological feature...
