Early Postnatal Metabolic Profile in Neonates With Different Birth Weight Status: A Pilot Study.

Restricted or enhanced intrauterine growth is associated with elevated risks of early and late metabolic problems in humans. Metabolomics based on amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profile may have a role in fetal and early postnatal energy metabolism. In this study, the relationship between intrauterine growth status and early metabolomics profile was evaluated.

Evaluation of neonatal acute kidney injury after critical congenital heart disease surgery.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to define the frequency and critical course, risk factors and short-term outcomes of AKI in postoperative CHD neonates.

Methods: Postoperatively followed term CHD newborn infants were enrolled in the study.
