| Popis: | Amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus in uterus, protects him from outside injury, from infectious agents and has thermoregulating properties. Furthermore, it allows for its normal growth and development. The volume of amniotic fluid is a result of balance between fluid production and fluid movement out of the gestational sac. Oligohydramnios and anhydramnios are defined as decreased amniotic volume for gestational age or absent amniotic fluid, respectively. They can be associated with many maternal, fetal and placental causes, while some cases remain of unexplained etiology. Here, we present a case of a newborn, who presented with acute kidney injury due to uteroplacental dysfunction and oligohydramnios. |
