Perinatal Asphyxia and Renal Failure in Neonatal Patients

Abstract
Oliguria and azotemia in neonatal patients associated with perinatal complications, including difficult labor and delivery and respiratory asphyxia are discussed. Renal failure in these patients was accompanied by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and red blood cell casts. It generally resolved in 7-10 days. Umbilical aortography may be helpful in determining the presence of normal kidneys in these patients.
