(2nd Department of Paediatrics, Semmelweis University, Medical School, Budapest, Hungary, and the Section of Neonatology, Centre of Paediatrics, University of Ulm, Federal Republic of Germany). Tubular proteinuria after perinatal hypoxia. Acta Paediatr Scand, 70:399, 1981.–Urinary total protein (UTP) and urinary protein pattern have been studied in 23 newborn infants with Apgar scores ±S3 at one minute or acidosis (pH ±7.15) on the first day. On the first and second day UTP excretion was increased in 13 out of 18 patients. At this time the excretion of low molecular weight microproteins (T‐4 and T‐5) was elevated in 12 patients without increased plasma urea concentration in any case. The increased excretion of the smallest microproteins T‐4/T‐5 is an early sign of an impaired tubular function.
