Abstract:Þyngdartap nýbura er algengt vandamál. Algengasta orsökin er ónóg fæðuinntaka hjá annars heilbrigðum börnum en miklvægt er að útiloka undirliggjandi sjúkdóma hjá barninu. Aldósterónskortur í nýburum er sjaldgæfur og lífshættulegur sjúkdómur. Birtingarmynd í nýburum er þyngdartap með alvarlegum blóðsaltabrenglunum og efnaskiptablóðsýringu. Mikilvægt er því að greina alvarlegar orsakir þyngdartaps hjá nýburum í tæka tíð. The Neonatal weight loss is a common problem which most physicians who take care of newborns should recognise. The most common reason is insufficient dietary intake. However the reason can also be an underlying disease. Aldosterone insufficiency in neonates is a rare disease and if not treated correctly can be life threatening. It presents with serious electrolytes abnormalities and metabolic acidosis. It is therefore important to distinguish between serious and benign causes of weight loss in neonates.
