چکیده
The authors report an 11-day-old exclusively breast-fed female, with a birth weight of 3 300 g, who had suffered from dehydration stage I, with acute renal failure and metabolic acidosis, with 170 mmol/L of serum sodium. Renal ultrasounds were normal but the rate of sodium in mother's milk was three times higher than controls (87 versus 21 mmol/L). Intravenous rehydration allowed the correction of hydroelectrolytic disorders.

متن کاملNeonatal hypernatremic dehydration secondary to lactation failure.
Dehydration in the neonatal period has many causes. Dehydration is classified as isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic, based on the serum osmolality that in most cases is reflected in the serum sodium level. Hypernatremic dehydration is usually caused by gastroenteritis, but it can also be caused by salt poisoning or diabetes insipidus. This type of dehydration can be especially dangerous. The hy...

Background In breast-fed neonates, hypernatremia may occur from inadequate breast milk production, central or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, gastroenteritis, or salt poisoning. Hypernatremic dehydration is a known risk factor for cerebral sinus thrombosis and death. We report a breastfed neonate with hypernatremic dehydration, diabetes insipidus, cerebral sinus thrombosis, and disseminated int...
