title: Myoglobinuric renal failure in a newborn after traumatic delivery.
abstract: Fetal and neonatal asphyxia is the main cause of transient or acute renal failure (ARF) in neonates. Rhabdomyolysis and subsequent myoglobinuria have been rarely reported in neonates. We describe a case of ARF in a newborn infant in whom asphyxia, birth trauma and hypovolemic shock precipitated rhabdomyolysis which contributed to ARF.
