Presently, no study has assessed the effects of sevoflurane on renal function in low birth weight infants. Our aim was to study the renal function in low birth weight infants undergoing surgery with low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. METHODS Forty infants graded as American So...
متن کاملRenal calcification incidence in very low birth weight infants.
Serial ultrasound examinations were performed on 31 neonates with birth weights of less than 1,500 g for the detection of renal calcifications. Renal calcifications occurred in 20 (64%) of the infants at a mean age of 39.3 +/- 26.7 days of life. Infants with renal calcifications had shorter gestations (28.2 +/- 1.8 v 31 +/- 1.4 weeks, P less than .004) and lighter birth weights (924 +/- 195 v 1...
متن کاملFrequency of Thyroid Function Disorders among a Population of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Premature Infants

CHT is more prevalent among preterm low-birth-weight neonates compared to term infants with normal weight. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 126 very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates referred to the neonatal inten...
