The baby was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis and acute renal failure
Doctors at the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU), Tirupathur Government Hospital, successfully treated a 24-day-old baby girl who was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis and acute renal failure, and was brought in a critical state to the hospital last week. Doctors claim this is a rare presentation during the newborn period.
The baby girl, daughter of Sivaranjini from Tirupathur, was born in Vellore Medical College Hospital, Adukamparai. Though her birth weight was 2.8 kg, it dropped to 1.78 kg and the parents complained that the child was feeding poorly and suffered from breathlessness.
