Abstract
Aims: To determine in a case-control study possible associations between the development of acute renal failure in preterm newborns and therapeutic interventions, particularly drug treatments. Methods: The study population was 172 preterm infants of Results: Very low birthweight infants were at high risk of acute renal failure (79% of cases were Conclusions: The results suggest the need for careful monitoring of very low birthweight infants and attention to drug treatments, as it is difficult to differentiate between normality and renal failure in the first few days of life.Keywords
