Renal Function in Full-Term Newborns Following Neonatal Asphyxia

Abstract
A prospective study of full-term infants with neonatal asphyxia was performed to evaluate possible alterations in renal function. Twenty-one newborns with an Apgar score ≤ 3 at 1 minute after birth and a control group of 20 normal infants were included. Oliguria of 12 hours or more (less than 1 ml/Kg/h) during the first 24 hours after birth was considered indication for a volume challenge test and use of diuretic.
