Neonatal end-stage renal failure associated with maternal ingestion of cyclo-oxygenase-type-1 selective inhibitor nimesulide as tocolytic
1999
Cyclo-oxygenase-type-2 (COX-2) enzyme is fundamental for nephrogenesis, upregulated on fetal membranes and myometrium at parturition. Fetal COX-2 inhibition, due to maternal nimesulide assumption, can be responsible for neonatal chronic renal failure.
