Aim: The characteristic features of hypernatremic dehydration and the risk factors in tehe development of hypernatremic dehydration in our neonatal intensive care unit were evaluated Material and Method: Term newborns recognized as hypernatremic dehydration between January 2006 December 2008 were included in the study The patients clinical characteristics laboratory findings additional diagnoses treatment modalities and periods were recorded prospectively Results: A total of 33 babies were included in the study during this period 57 6 of all cases were males and 18 2 were first children of their families Mean gestational age birth weight hospitalization time and serum sodium level were 38 3±1 2 weeks 3372±437 g 4 6±2 9 days and 151 9±6 4 mEq L respectively The most common presenting complaints were fever 30 3 jaundice 27 3 irritability 24 2 and breastfeeding difficulties 18 2 On the admission mean weight loss was 13 1±0 8 upper limit 23 90 of the infants were exclusively breastfeed On the other hand; insufficient breast milk was found in 78 inappropriate breast feeding method in 18 and nipple problems in 4 of the mothers Neurological findings were present in 39 4 of patients on admission The mean serum sodium level was 151 9±6 4 mEq L while intravenous fluids were administered in 97 of the patients serum sodium levels declined to normal values in a mean of 1 8±1 6 days Among all the patients 27 2 had infection bacteriemia plus urinary tract infection 3 were expased to traditional salt application to the body and 3 had intestinal malabsorption The average discharge time was 2 0±1 6 days Serum sodium values were found to be higher in the first babies but no relationship was found between the gender and type of delivery and the degree of hypernatremia The male gender was a risk factor in the development of neurological findings in hypernatremic dehydration Conclusions: It was remarkable that neonatal hypernatremic dehydration was seen mostly in breastfed newborns Being the first baby of parents was a risk factor for the development of hypernatremia and male gender was also a risk factor for the development of neurological findings in hypernatremic dehydration Turk Arch Ped 2009; 44: 84 8 Key words: Breastfeeding dehydration hypernatremia newborn

Amaç: Hipernatremik dehidratasyon tanısıyla yenidoğan kliniğine yatırılan bebeklerin değerlendirilmesi ve hipernatremi gelişiminde risk etmenlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2006 Aralık 2008 tarihleri arasında hipernatremik dehidratasyon tanısı alan ve miadında doğan bebekler çalışmaya alındı Geleceğe yönelik olarak hastaların klinik özellikleri laboratuvar bulguları ek tanıları tedavi süreleri ve tedavi şekilleri kaydedildi Bulgular: Bu dönemde çalışma grubunda 33 bebek vardı Grubun 57 6’sı n:18 erkek ve 18 2’si n:6 ilk bebek idi Ortalama gebelik haftası 38 3±1 2 hafta doğum ağırlığı 3372±437 gr ve hastaneye getirilme zamanı 4 6±2 9 gün olarak saptandı Bebeklerin getiriliş nedenleri 30 3 ateş 27 3 sarılık 24 2 huzursuzluk ve 18 2 emmemeydi Ortalama tartı kaybı 13 1±0 84 üst sınır 23 idi Bebeklerin 90’ı sadece anne sütü ile besleniyordu Annelerin 78’inde anne sütü yetersizliği 18’inde emzirme yöntemi yanlışlığı ve 4’ünde ise meme başı sorunu vardı Bebeklerin 39 4’ünde nörolojik bulgu saptandı Ortalama serum sodyum değeri 151 9±6 4 mEq L idi Bebeklerin 97’sine damar içi sıvı desteği verilirken sodyum değerleri 1 8±1 6 gün sonra normal değerlere geriledi Bebeklerin 27 2’sinde enfeksiyon bakteriyemi ve idrar yolu enfeksiyonu 3’ünde vücuda tuz uygulanması ve 3’ünde malabsorpsiyon saptandı Bebeklerin ortalama taburcu edilme zamanı 2 0±1 6 gündü Cinsiyet ve doğum şeklinin hipernatremi düzeyi ile anlamlı bir ilişkisi saptanmazken ilk bebeklerde serum sodyum değerinin daha yüksek olduğu gözlendi Erkek cinsiyetin hipernatremik dehidratasyonda nörolojik bulguların gelişiminde hafif bir risk etmeni olduğu belirlendi Göreceli risk=1 16 95 güvenilirlik aralığı 0 5 2 7 nbsp;Çıkarımlar: Çalışmamızda hipernatremi gelişen yenidoğanların büyük bir kısmının sadece anne sütü ile beslendiği belirlendi İlk bebek olmanın hipernatremi gelişiminde erkek cinsiyetin ise nörolojik bulguların gelişiminde bir risk etmeni oldukları saptandı Türk Ped Arş 2009; 44: 84 8 Anahtar kelimeler: Anne sütü dehidratasyon hipernatremi yenidoğan
