title: [Neonatal oliguria associated with hyperuricemia].
abstract: Acute renal failure syndrome in the newborn has many etiologic factors. Hyperuricemia as unique etiology of this syndrome has been seldom cited in literature, although is a well know factor operating together with others. From nine newborns with oliguria, hyperuricemia vas a contributing factor in appearance of the syndrome in seven. In the other two cases hyperuricemia was the sole possible etiologic factor in development of oliguria which was classified as functional. Hyperuricemia alone may be the unique etiologic factor in functional oliguria of the newborn being further investigations needed to understand its precise mechanism.
