Abstract
Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and aldosterone concentrations were investigated in 25 sick premature neonates. Group A consisted of 11 premature neonates with sepsis and group B of 14 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. In both groups, ANP and aldosterone levels were found to be higher than in the controls. Group A concentrations of ANP and aldosterone were also higher than in group B.
