Background/aims: Hypernatremic dehydration in term neonates is associated with inadequate fluid intake, usually related to insufficient lactation. The use of hypotonic fluids is appropriate to dilute serum sodium (SNa), but cerebral edema may develop when it happens abruptly. Our objective was to clarify how to correct hypernatremic dehydration properly.
Methods: The following databases were searched, limited to studies published until January 31st, 2016: Clinical Trials, MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS, and the Cochrane Library. We included open-label trials, nonrandomized controlled trials, or prospective and retrospective case series evaluating relevant outcomes. Information regarding the way of administering the treatment, type of fluid used, rates of complications and outcomes, as well as the rate of SNa reduction were collected.
Results: Searches yielded 771 articles: 64 had the full text reviewed and 9 were included. No randomized clinical trials or systematic reviews focusing on treatment of hypernatremic dehydration and its outcomes were found. We found a scarcity of high quality studies and great methodology heterogeneity.
Conclusions: More severe hypernatremia is at greater risk of causing severe adverse effects of treatment. There is no consensus about the optimal rate of SNa drop in this population, but a slower correction appears to be safer. Questions as when parenteral fluids are indicated remain unanswered.

Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is when a baby's kidneys suddenly stop working well, causing problems like waste buildup in the blood and trouble with fluids and electrolytes.
- In a study of 78 baby boys and girls with AKI, most were premature and suffered from issues like infections or lack of oxygen, with a significant number sadly not surviving.
- The study showed that different causes of AKI in newborns led to different outcomes, meaning doctors need to act quickly based on what type of AKI is present.

Background: Neonatal hypernatremic dehydration (NHD) is a severe condition associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Purpose: The present study evaluated maternal risk factors, including duration of maternal hospitalisation, primiparity, caesarean section, and pregnancy complications, as well as social factors, such as depression, fatigue, and inadequate support for NHD.
Data Sources: PubMed, Cochrane Library, International Scientific Indexing, Scopus, and Google Scholar were the databases searched until 2023.

Adrenal haemorrhage, although a rare entity in the neonatal period, is a known complication of birth asphyxia. Adrenal haemorrhage progresses differently depending on the type and extent of the glands involved. Adrenal haemorrhage can cause persistent jaundice, fever, dehydration, scrotal swelling, abdominal wall discolouration, septicemia, and a shock-like state.

BACKGROUND Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare renal disorder that can be congenital, and is caused by mutations in either aquaporin 2 or arginine vasopressin receptor 2, or it can be secondary to kidney disease or electrolyte imbalance. The clinical signs of NDI include polyuria, compensatory polydipsia, hypernatremic dehydration, and growth retardation without prompt treatment. In this report, we present the case of a patient with congenital NDI who was later diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
