Abstract :

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is a major public health problem. As per the latest estimates, it accounts for millions of neonatal deaths worldwide which occur mainly during intrapartum period, largely owing to asphyxia. This study is carried out To determine the incidence of renal function abnormalities in term asphyxiated newborns, acute kidney injury based on renal parameter changes and its correlation with HIE (hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy) staging, the electrolyte profile in term asphyxiated new born and its correlation with HIE staging and to study the outcome in term asphyxiated newborns with Acute Kidney Injury
