The Objective of this article is to assess the influence of the factors of pregnancy, childbirth and the early neonatal period on the development of acute kidney damage in premature newborns with very low and extremely low body weight. In addition, this disease significantly affects the prognosis and quality of life of the child. In addition, acute kidney damage significantly increases mortality among patients of the intensive care unit for newborns. There has been established a connection between acute hypoxia in childbirth, extremely low body weight at birth, intrauterine infection and III severity on the NTISS scale with the development of acute kidney damage in the early neonatal period. Early detection of this condition requires a comprehensive study of the mechanisms of its development and possible risk factors.

Currently in the literature there are insufficient data on the use of efferent hemocorrection methods in neonatal practice. The basic principle of this method is the removal of plasma containing endotoxins and exotoxins and other pathological substances, replacing it with donor plasma, colloid and crystalloid solutions. The therapeutic effect of plasmapheresis includes detoxification, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects by removing toxins and removal of circulating immune complexes, inflammatory mediators, and activated structures of the complement system. Discrete plasmapheresis in neonatal practice may be used in any body mass of the patient. This article describes a clinical case of successful application of discrete plasmapheresis in full-term newborn baby is in critical condition. The severity was due to severe early neonatal sepsis, development of multiple organ failure and accompanying RH-conflict. After two sessions of plasmapheresis was observed a positive clinical effect in reducing intoxication, systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Reducing the level of bilirubin is allowed to avoid the operation replacement blood transfusion.
