Anesthesia for cesarean section--VII. Early effects on neonatal renal function of XXXX anesthesia for cesarean section.

@entity1 @entity4488 @entity1372 @entity1388
Fourteen @entity1 undergoing elective cesarean section were anesthetized with @entity4488 for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. Blood @entity4488 and serum inorganic @entity1388 levels were studied in the mothers at delivery and in the neonates at delivery and in the early neonatal period. Also neonatal urinary excretion of inorganic @entity1388 was determined. Renal function of the neonates was tested with a @entity1372 load at the age of 1 day. @entity4488 showed the expected distribution between mothers and neonates. The @entity4488 level of the neonates declined rapidly after delivery. Serum inorganic @entity1388 level increased significantly in the mothers from start of anesthesia until delivery. The neonatal level was lower and did not reach the level of neonates in areas with a high natural @entity1388 content in drinking water. The level of inorganic @entity1388 in urine was higher than the corresponding serum level, indicating an inorganic @entity1388 concentrating effect of the neonatal kidney. The difference between urinary excretion and serum content of inorganic @entity1388 showed neonatal metabolism of @entity4488 . The urinary @entity1372 excretion did not differ from that of @entity1 delivered without halogenated inhalation agents given to the mothers.
