Postnatal Development of Renal Concentration Capacity as Estimated by DDAVP-Test in Normal and Asphyxiated Neonates

Abstract: Postnatal development of renal concentration capacity was estimated by longitudinal studies in capacity 20 healthy term and preterm neonates and 8 asphyxiated neonates. The response curve during the renal concentration test was shorter in all infants at 1–3 weeks of age, especially in preterm infants. The mean maximum urine osmolality values during renal concentration test in non-asphyxiated term and preterm neonates and asphyxiated neonates were 385, 359, and 300 mOsm/kg, respectively, at 1–3 weeks of age, bu… Show more

“…Therefore, the test results for individual II-1 may have been falsely negative, reflecting the pharmacological difficulties with pitressin in an era before the availability of DDAVP. The nonresponse in III-10 was initially ascribed to his age, as his 1st DDAVP test was at the gestational age of 36 weeks, a time when NDI is physiologic [19,20,21]. However, not only was he clinically more severely affected than the other patients in this family, he also showed no response to DDAVP at the age of 10 months, an age when urinary concentrating ability has usually matured.…”

“…In prematurity (particularly when combined with asphyxia), urine is reported to be mostly hypotonic (12). It is interesting that as a neonate, despite the presence of the mutation, patient V.9 was able to dilute his urine to a very low osmolality (94 mOsm/kg at day 16), thereby protecting him from episodes of hyponatremia.…”

“…Additional clinical or biochemical signs of hypo(hyper)-hydration are necessary to diagnose hypo(hyper)-hydration in a subject of this life stage and gender group.
