Transient elevation of aldosterone levels in perinatal asphyxia

Abstract: Pereira DN, Procianoy RS. Transient elevation of aldosterone levels in perinatal asphyxia. Acta Prediatr 1997; 86: 851-3. Stockholm. ISSN 0803-5253 We measured plasma aldosterone levels in cord blood and peripheral blood collected 18-24 h after birth in 19 asphyxiated and 19 normal term newborn infants. The asphyxiated newborn infants had significantly higher aldosterone levels in cord blood than the normal newborn infants. At 18-24 h after birth there was no difference between the groups with respect to aldos… Show more

“…There was also a significant negative correlation between duration of the first stage of labour and U‐Na. Our results are in concurrence with earlier findings and support the conception of aldosterone as one of the important stress hormones in the newborn (17,18).…”

“…Aldosterone levels are markedly increased at birth and tend to decrease during the first days of life (16). Perinatal asphyxia and hypoxia seem to increase aldosterone secretion and it can be considered a stress hormone (17,18). The full‐term healthy infant has the same ability as adults to retain sodium (3), and it has been established that urine sodium (U‐Na) and potassium concentrations (U‐K) levels indirectly reflect aldosterone levels (3,16,19).…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8]24 Effect of hypoxia on thyroid indices in term new-born have also been evaluated with conflicting results. [8][9][10] For the development of central nervous system thyroid hormone plays a pivotal role. In non-thyroidal illnesses low level of thyroid hormones are associated with poor prognosis.…”

“…Neurological dysfunction is usually the most obvious presentation of perinatal asphyxia & its overwhelming nature often distracts our attention from the presence of other organ system dysfunction such as renal, GIT, cardiovascular and endocrine system [2]. Perinatal asphyxia triggers rapid alterations in the concentration of several hormones such as thyroid hormones, catecholamine, glucocorticoids, antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, renin, atrial natriuretic peptide and insulin [3][4][5][6].…”
