[Influence of premature rupture of fetal membranes on kynurenic acid concentration in umbilical cord blood].

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of premature rupture of fetal membranes on kynurenic acid (KYNA) levels in venous and arterial umbilical cord blood of neonates. Statistically significant higher concentration of KYNA in umbilical arterial and venous blood in neonates of mothers with PROM lasting longer than 11 hours was observed. Increase of KYNA concentration in blood of such babies may be one of markers of developing infection.
