title: [Urine cholinesterase activity in full-term neonatal infants with ischemic nephropathy].
abstract: To determine urine cholinesterase activity in full-term neonatal infants with varying ischemic nephropathy in an intensive care unit, the investigators studied this enzyme on days 1 and 5-7 of life, by using a kinetic photometric test optimized according to the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Klinische Chemie (German Society for Clinical Chemistry) recommendations. In the early neonatal period, the newborns with grade III ischemic nephropathy were found to have a high urine cholinesterase activity. The determination of urine cholinesterase activity just on the first day of life may be used for the early diagnosis of grade III ischemic nephropathy in the newborns until the clinical manifestations of this pathology develop.
