title: Creatine and density of red blood cells in perinatal hypoxia.
abstract: Signs of stimulated erythropoiesis, such as increased creatine and decreased density of red cells are good indicators of hypoxemia in adults and older children. The sensitivity of both tests in perinatal hypoxia was found to be reduced. The causes for this reduction were investigated.
