Abstract
The purpose of this study is to distinguish the important risk factors that contribute to intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and hypernatremia in early postnatal life of the preterm neonates having extremely low birth weight. The study seeks to find a relationship between the two pathologies in neonates born before term and its relevance in this era and age. Intracerebral hemorrhage ends in the damage of the hypothalamic nuclei, a decrease in the secretion of antidiuretic hormones, and hypernatremia; hence, hypernatremia in preterm neonates with severe IVH may be the conclusion of severe brain damage. Contrary to this, hypernatremia had been shown to cause brain shrinkage. A chronological study would be used to compare both, and the goal is thus, to analyze and form an opinion about the topic on the basis of research in a chronological order.
