Parameters of oxidative metabolism in neonates suffering from sepsis and anemia.
Neonatal sepsis still remains as one of the actual problems in modern medicine due to its high morbidity and mortality rates determined by diagnostic difficulties and absence of sufficient evidence for effective therapy. Literature data have shown that essential role in pathogenesis of sepsis belongs to the cellular oxidation-reduction misballance and development of the oxidative stress. The aim of our work was to assess indices of pro- and antioxidant systems in term neonates with sepsis on the background of anemia and without it. A total of 41 neonates (17 male, 24 female) with the age range from 3 to 7 days, with early sepsis, and in 2003-2005 years treated at the department of neonates' therapy and intensive care unit of pediatric clinics of the Tbilisi State Medical University were under observation. The control group involved 17 practically healthy neonates of the same age range. In consequence of the analyses there was ascertained, that with anemia increases intensification free-radical oxidation process. At the same time, antioxidant system activity was not change significantly in the sepsis with anemia, than other one. Pathogenesis of anemia may was founded undergo hemolitic anemia results by oxidative stress. According to the results of investigations could be concluded that in case of anemia developed at neonatal sepsis supports intensify of oxidative stress and at the same time anemia is the result of the oxidative stress.
