This also applies to screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency based on the measurement of 17-hydroxy-progesterone from dried blood; this was primarily designed to prevent neonatal deaths from acute adrenal insufficiency. This goal can be achieved by a high degree of clinical awareness of the diagnosis, but this has only been reported in a few jurisdictions. Furthermore, biochemical screening allows earlier treatment. On the other hand, there are many false positives, mostly in premature infants, so screening for 21-hydroxylase deficiency has not been universally adopted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74783,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in neonatology : SN","volume":"9 1","pages":"Pages 75-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1084-2756(03)00115-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40835161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We believe that pancreatic dysfunction in this condition is maintained throughout life with relapse initiated at times of metabolic stress such as puberty or pregnancy. The mechanisms involved in this rare condition may inform on fetal pancreatic development, islet cell physiology and predisposition to type 2 diabetes. In PNDM, insulin secretory failure occurs in the early postnatal period. A number of conditions are associated with PNDM, some of which have been elucidated at the molecular level.

The heterogeneity that is the hallmark of neonatal glucose metabolism is illustrated by the observation that maintenance of euglycaemia in the sick and/or low-birthweight neonate is especially difficult. This reinforces the concept that the neonate is vulnerable to carbohydrate disequilibrium. In this discussion, we shall first evaluate the definition of euglycaemia by considering the ranges for hypo- and hyperglycaemia. We shall also review the considerable literature that has been published on measurement of the rate of glucose production and the rate of glucose utilization in the neonate.
