Abstract

Background/Aim: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (UN) is a consequence of inadequate neonatal lung fluid clearance. Natriuretic peptides play an important role in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and ITN, and to find out its role in predicting disease severity.
