Measuring Serum Level of Total L Carnitine in HIE and TTN

47 participantsStarted 2016-12

Plain-language summary

It is a comparative prospective and observational study conducted at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Assiut University Children Hospital. All cases of perinatal asphyxia and TTN admitted to the NICU during the period 12-2016 to 6-2018 were included. All the included newborns were examined and the serum level of total L carnitine was measured. Then we compared the demographic data and investigation of cases with HIE with the outcome of those cases. Results: It was found that serum level of total L carnitine decreased in both HIE and TTN cases but without significant difference with mean 5.51 ± 1.30 umol/l in group I vs 6.22 ± 2.56 umol/l in group II. The male factor with changes in the serum sodium (132.63 ± 9.30) and abnormal serum creatinine level \[1.4 (0.7-15.0)\] were significantly related to the outcome of cases with HIE
