TLDR
This work has shown that amniotic fluid at term in the human is the product of numerous exchanges with the fetal and indirectly, the maternal compartments, and this model provides an interesting concept of the steady-state regulation of this space.About:

Ultrasound evaluation of amniotic fluid volume: I. The relationship of marginal and decreased amniotic fluid volumes to perinatal outcome
TL;DR: A retrospective chart review relating qualitative amniotic fluid volume as determined at the time of last biophysical profile score assessment to perinatal outcome in 7582 referred high-risk obstetric patients found the incidences of major congenital anomaly and intrauterine growth retardation were significantly related to qualitative ammiotic fluidVolume.

Physiology of amniotic fluid volume regulation
TL;DR: Although there are fairly wide variations AFV normally undergoes characteristic changes across gestation in which it increases from 10-20 ml at 10 weeks gestation to average 800 ml at 24 weeks, little change occurs from then until near term when AFV begins to decrease, and large decreases can occur in postterm pregnancies.

TL;DR: Proper prognostic criteria are identified that accurately identify the fetus with "good function" from the fetuses with "poor function" and in utero renal function testing.

Ultrasound evaluation of amniotic fluid volume: II. The relationship of increased amniotic fluid volume to perinatal outcome
TL;DR: A retrospective chart review which relates qualitative amniotic fluid volume as determined at the time of last biophysical profile score assessment to perinatal outcome in 7562 referred high-risk obstetric patients found the incidences of major congenital anomaly and fetal macrosomia were significantly related to qualitative ammiotic fluidVolume.

An Evaluation of Fetal Renal Function in a Chronic Sheep Preparation
TL;DR: Fetal renal function in the sheep was investigated in a chronic preparation which permitted repeated evaluations of urine flow and osmolality as well as renal clearances in animals which were unanesthetized and remote from acute surgical stress.

TL;DR: In a preceding report on exchange mechanisms in pregnant monkeys, evidence has been presented that the water exchange between the maternal organism and the products of gestation can be represented by a kinetic model composed of three major compartments, all of which exchange with each other.

The role of the fetus in the formation of amniotic fluid
TL;DR: Up to mid‐pregnancy amniotic fluid volume was closely related to fetal weight, and the sodium and urea content of amniotics fluid was more closely relatedto that in fetal plasma than to that in maternal plasma.

Transfer of ampicillin into fetus and amniotic fluid from maternal plasma in late pregnancy
TL;DR: Ampicillin shows promise as a useful drug in the treatment of amnionitis and intrauterine fetal sepsis and is suggested as a mechanism in establishing higher levels of ampicillin in amniotic fluid of viable pregnancies, probably by fetal urinary excretion.
