Intracranial bleeding was found in 35.7% in the first group and 30% in the second group, and in the third group in 53.3%. The need for surfactant in the HIE group with RDS is 59.5%, and in the RDS group without HIE 84.2%. DIC associated with sepsis was found in 13.1-50% in those groups. In newborns with HIE and bradycardia, the probability of having RDS was on average 3.2 times higher than in those without bradycardia. The application of the surfactant significantly improved the pH, pO2, pCO2, BE and chest X-ray in children with RDS. An Apgar score less than 6 at the fifth minute increases the risk of RDS by 3 times. The metabolic acidosis in the first 24 hours increases the risk of death by 23.6 times.

In the first stage, we performed four metastasectomies on the left lobe with right portal vein ligation and transection on the Cantlie line. The second stage was performed after a CT evaluation on the eighth day, with significant hypertrophy on the left lobe.

Regarding the complexity of the gold standard inulin clearance, different estimating equations have been developed with CKD-EPI creatinine equation recommended as the most reliable one. In some clinical situations where creatinine based equations might not be valid, alternative methods are needed. Nuclear medicine methods for measuring GFR with 51Cr EDTA and 99mTc DTPA have been widely used for decades. There are different methodologies for the measurement of kidney function with radiopharmaceuticals: urinary clearance, plasma clearance, multiple plasma sampling, slope intercept, single sample plasma equation, slope only, and the gamma camera-based method. Greater precision of measuring GFR is needed in certain clinical situations. The most common are diagnosis and follow up of chronic kidney disease and definition of the beginning of replacement therapy. The assessment of renal function is also important for potential kidney donors. In recent years, with the introduction of new chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapy, oncologic patients treated with nephrotoxic drugs have become more commonly referred for measuring GFR. The monitoring of renal function is important during treatment in order to detect the transformation from reversible acute kidney injury to irreversible chronic kidney disease as well as in the cases of renal insufficiency reduce the dosage and prevent accumulation of the drug and avoid dosage related toxic effects. Assessment of kidney function using measured mGFR will be an important milestone in the creation of more accurate and expanding personalized medicine principle in current onconephrology practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":74492,"journal":{"name":"Prilozi (Makedonska akademija na naukite i umetnostite.
