Abstract:
33 neonates between 4th and 7th day of life were enrolled in the study. The data of renal Doppler sonography were compared to renal excretion parameters. In infants with respiratory distress a decrease of creatinine clearance as well as an increase of fractional sodium excretion were associated with reduced peak systolic flow velocity in the A. renalis. The results suggest the importance of the Doppler sonography in the monitoring of the renal function in the newborn intensive care.
