Observational Study
Metabolic acidosis in the first 14 days of life in infants of gestation less than 26 weeks.
European Journal of Pediatrics 2015 January
UNLABELLED: Extremely immature newborns develop a self-limiting normal anion gap metabolic acidosis in early life. This study examined the natural history of this acidosis in a population of infants of gestation less than 26 weeks in the first 14 days of life. The acidosis was maximal on day 4 with a mean base deficit of 10.6 mmol/l and had resolved in 90 % of infants by day 11. Dopamine usage was the only independent predictor of the acidosis. Its use was associated with a greater degree of acidosis.
CONCLUSION: Extremely preterm infants experience a self-limiting normal anion gap metabolic acidosis in the first 2 weeks of life which is consistent with renal tubular immaturity.
