title: [Acute renal failure in perinatal asphyxia].
abstract: Patients with perinatal asphyxia from a total population of 15,216 births were studied prospectively. A total of 76 newborn infants achieved the criteria for inclusion. These were distributed in three populations: 53 (73%) without acute renal failure (ARF); 17 (22%) with ARF of prerenal type; 6, (8%) with ARF of renal type. Incidence of several perinatal factors were compared (gestational age, birth weight, meconial amniotic fluid, cord and/or placental disturbances, type of delivery, APGAR Score, and resuscitation). Authors observed that in the group of preterm infants, ARF is present, always was of renal type. In the population with ARF of renal type perinatal asphyxia was clinically worse: greatest frequency of meconial amniotic fluid (p less than 0,025) and worse response to resuscitation with a lower increment in the APGAR Score between one and five minutes (p less than 0.005).
