✦ Synopsis

Recurrent apnoea and chronic hypoventilation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and markers of chronic hypoxaemia have been reported in such infants at post mortem examination. Markers of chronic hypoxaemia are common in cyanotic congenital heart disease. Glomerular enlargement in congenital heart disease is said to be related to hypoxaemia although the precise mechanism whereby this occurs is not clear.

We have established a normal range of glomerular size for the postperinatal period and confirmed glomerular enlargement to be a common finding in children with congenital heart disease of similar age. In contrast glomerular size in SIDS is not different from controls. The results question the role of significant chronic hypoxaemia being involved in these deaths.
