Evaluation of Urinary Biomarkers Trend in Preterm Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna
Summary
The purpose of this study is to define the temporal patterns of urinary biomarkers (CysC, EGF, KIM-1, NGAL, β2-Microglobulin, OPN, and MOD) in the first two weeks of life in preterm and/or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in relation to the effect of specific factors (hsPDA, prenatal Doppler alterations) and drug therapies. Another objective is then to evaluate the predictivity of these biomarkers with respect to the occurrence of renal damage in preterm infants and possible cut-off values
