Electrolyte disorders can further worsen the condition of a sick newborn. One of these important electrolytes is calcium. The aim of this study is to detect the association between aminoglycosides therapy and hypercalciuria in neonates. Methods: The study was carried out on 50 term neonates at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Al Monira Children{u2019}s Hospital, Cairo University.
