Abstract
The diagnosis of perinatal insults currently relies on adequate documentation of general medical and obstetric factors and on radiologic and laboratory assessments. The measurement of brain damage markers may offer an alternative and direct indicator of cell damage in the nervous system when clinical and radiologic assessments are still silent and has the additional advantage of providing a quantitative indicator of the extent of brain lesions. For this purpose, actvin A, adrenomedullin, non protein bound iron, and S100B protein have been investigated in different biological fluids.
