“…Causes of renal insufficiency in the neonatal period are extensively described [1]; the postrenal causes are ureteroceles, pelvi‐ureteric and vesico‐ureteric junction stenosis, megaureters, malignancies and urethral conditions [2,3]. In the present case the multicystic ectopic kidney was another cause.…”

“…Acute renal failure in the newborn has been defined as urine output less than 1 ml/kg/hour and blood urea nitrogen more than 20 mg % and serum Creatinine of more than 1 mg %. (8)(9) Diagnosis of renal failure is difficult in neonates as many of the established clinical and biochemical parameters are unreliable in this age group.…”

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Birth asphyxia occurs when a baby does not receive enough oxygen before, during or after birth. It is an insult to the fetus or newborn due to lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and /or a lack of perfusion (ischemia) to various organs. Fetus totally depends for its oxygen supply and other nutrients on the blood supplied through placenta. In any case, if blood supplied through placenta is hampered, it leads to asphyxial injury. We performed this study to determine the incidence of renal failure in birth asphyxia by estimating serum creatinine, blood urea and blood urea nitrogen / creatinine ratio on I & III day of life. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 50 asphyxiated neonates and 25 healthy neonates as controls. Blood urea and serum creatinine were estimated by Vitros 950 dry chemistry autoanalyzer. RESULT: Blood urea and serum creatinine were significantly higher in asphyxiated babies compared to control groups (p<0.001). Blood Urea nitrogen / Creatinine ratio was significantly higher in asphyxiated babies compared to control groups (p<0.001) on day 3 but insignificant on day 1. We conclude that renal failure is a significant problem in asphyxiated neonates.
