  2. Polyhydramnios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhydramnios

    Polyhydramnios is a medical condition describing an excess of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac.It is seen in about 1% of pregnancies. [1] [2] [3] It is typically diagnosed when the amniotic fluid index (AFI) is greater than 24 cm. [4] [5] There are two clinical varieties of polyhydramnios: chronic polyhydramnios where excess amniotic fluid accumulates gradually, and acute polyhydramnios ...

  3. Diabetic embryopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_embryopathy

    In maternal diabetes, 90% of pregnancy losses happen in the first trimester due to oxidative stress. Diabetic embryopathy abortions in the second-trimester are most likely due to severe birth defect , maternal metabolic derangement, placental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia due to membrane rupture.

  4. Bartter syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartter_syndrome

    In 90% of cases, neonatal Bartter syndrome is seen between 24 and 30 weeks of gestation with excess amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). After birth, the infant is seen to urinate and drink excessively (polyuria, and polydipsia, respectively). Life-threatening dehydration may result if the infant does not receive adequate fluids.

  5. Amniotic fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_fluid

    Oligohydramnios can sometimes be treated with bed rest, oral and intravenous hydration, antibiotics, steroids, and amnioinfusion. [citation needed] The opposite of oligohydramnios is polyhydramnios, an excess volume of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac. Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare but very often fatal condition for both mother and child.

  6. Neonatal diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_diabetes

    Neonatal diabetes is classified into three subtypes: permanent, transient, and syndromic; each with distinct genetic causes and symptoms. [5] Syndromic neonatal diabetes is the term for diabetes as just one component of any of several complex syndromes that affect neonates, including IPEX syndrome, Wolcott-Rallison syndrome, and Wolfram ...

  7. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-to-twin_transfusion...

    The blood volume of the recipient twin is increased, which can strain the fetus's heart and eventually lead to heart failure, and also higher than normal urinary output, which can lead to excess amniotic fluid (becoming polyhydramnios). The demise of the fetus is typically a result of ischemia related to the lack of blood flow.

  9. Genetic causes of type 2 diabetes - Wikipedia

    [21] [22] Other research also shows that type 2 diabetes can cause obesity as an effect of the changes in metabolism and other deranged cell behavior attendant on insulin resistance. [23] However, environmental factors (almost certainly diet and weight) play a large part in the development of type 2 diabetes in addition to any genetic component.
