Diffusion-weighted MRI and urinary Activin-A are potential predictors of severity in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

DW-MRI imaging is correlated well with urinary Activin-A in full-term neonates with HIE and both of them are correlated with the degree of HIE. Early determination of urinary Activin-A combined with DW-MRI imaging can early detect HIE and its degree of severity in full-term neonates with HIE.
