- General Drug Summary
- Description
- The active sympathomimetic hormone from the adrenal medulla in most species. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic vasoconstriction and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the heart, and dilates bronchi and cerebral vessels. It is used in asthma and cardiac failure and to delay absorption of local anesthetics. [PubChem]

- The aim of this work was to focus on the fact that jaundice can be caused by adrenal hemorrhage and to emphasize the crucial importance of abdominal ultrasound in cases of persistent jaundice.

- The clinical presentation of adrenal hemorrhage varies, depending on the extent of hemorrhage as well as the amount of adrenal cortex involved by the hemorrhage. We report here a case of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage revealed by late onset of neonatal jaundice. This adrenal hemorrhage most probably resulted from shoulder dystocia. The aim of this work was to focus on the fact that jaundice can be caused by adrenal hemorrhage and to emphasize the crucial importance of abdominal ultrasound in cases of persistent jaundice.

- Summary
- Reduced response to epinephrine in hyperbilirubinaemic infants is related to age rather than to bilirubin.
- Platelet aggregation in neonates with hyperbilirubinaemia. Scandinavian journal of haematology, 1980 Jan [Go to PubMed]
- In 19 jaundiced newborns who had no evidence of kernicterus the effect of bilirubin on adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine and collagen-induced platelet aggregation was studied. Compared to 20 normal adult controls, no significant difference was found for ADP and collagen-induced platelet aggregation in jaundiced infants. However, with epinephrine, significantly decreased aggregation was observed, but this was also the case for non-jaundiced infants. This suggests that the reduced response to epinephrine in hyperbilirubinaemic infants is related to age rather than to bilirubin. Increased bilirubin is therefore not responsible for any increased bleeding tendency due to impaired platelet function.
