Changes in urinary PGE2 after ibuprofen treatment in preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus

Purpose To investigate changes in urinary PGE 2 after ibuprofen treatment in preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Methods Twenty preterm infants with a hemodynamically significant PDA (gestational age, 28.6 ± 2.3 weeks) and 20 controls (gestational age, 30.4 ± 1.5 weeks) were prospec...

Description
Summary:Purpose To investigate changes in urinary PGE 2 after ibuprofen treatment in preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Methods Twenty preterm infants with a hemodynamically significant PDA (gestational age, 28.6 ± 2.3 weeks) and 20 controls (gestational age, 30.4 ± 1.5 weeks) were prospectively enrolled at 48–72 h of life. After enrollment, the former underwent conventional ibuprofen-lysine treatment. At 48–72 h (T 0 ) and 108–144 h of life (T 1 ), urine samples were noninvasively collected in both groups to measure urinary PGE 2 concentrations (enzyme immunoassay method), and renal function was investigated. Results Urinary PGE 2 decreased significantly both in ibuprofen-treated patients (66.95 ± 16.78 vs. 27.15 ± 17.92 pg/mL, P
