The association between cord hormones and transient tachypnea of newborn in late preterm and term neonates who were delivered by cesarean section

Abstract

Lower cord levels of cortisol, ACTH and fT3 in patients with TTN may indicate the possible relation of these hormones in fetal lung fluid clearance and postnatal pulmonary adaptation through their modulatory effect on epithelial sodium channel and Na-K-ATPase.
