Seung Yeon Nam, Eun Ae Par, Seung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(12):1685-1692.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : Low-dose dopamine(0.5-3μg/kg/min) increases renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and natriuresis and has protective and therapeutic effects on oliguric renal failures. Asphyxia is the most common cause of acute renal failure in neonates. But the protective effects of dopamine have never been reported in asphyxiated neonates.
