Abstract
The intake and urine output of water, sodium and potassium were evaluated during the first four days of life in infants with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) and compared with controls. Infants with HMD had similar urine output despite reduced fluid intake. Insensible water loss was decreased in HMD. Compared with intake, losses of sodium and potassium were excessive In both groups, but significantly more so in those with HMD. The cause of increased natriuresis in HMD is not known.
