Urinary aldosterone excretion and electrolytic balance in response to chronic diuretic therapy in very low-birth weight infants

Background: It has been reported that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system of healthy newborn infants and pre-term infants responds to acute furosemide challenge. Objective: To assess urinary aldosterone excretion (UAE) and electrolytic balance in very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants who receive...

Description
Summary:Background: It has been reported that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system of healthy newborn infants and pre-term infants responds to acute furosemide challenge. Objective: To assess urinary aldosterone excretion (UAE) and electrolytic balance in very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants who received chronic therapy with furosemide and to compare them with those of infants who did not receive diuretic therapy. Methods: Infants with birth weight
