Serum Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Birthweight: An Updated Meta-analysis With Bias Analysis.

TL;DR: Present human evidence provides only modest support for decreased birthweight with increasing PFOA, as studies with a wide range of exposure, and studies with blood sampled early in pregnancy, showed little or no association of P FOA with birthweight.

Adjusting urinary chemical biomarkers for hydration status during pregnancy

TL;DR: SG showed a slightly better within-person reproducibility and the least amount of systematic variation when compared to creatinine adjustment, and appears to be a favorable approach for correcting for the hydration status of the pregnant women from this cohort.

A best practice position statement on the role of the nephrologist in the prevention and follow-up of preeclampsia: the Italian study group on kidney and pregnancy.

TL;DR: The aim of the present position statement of the Kidney and Pregnancy Study Group of the Italian Society of Nephrology is to identify theoretical and pragmatic bases for an agreed management of PE in the nephrological setting, with particular attention to the prevention of the syndrome (recurrent PE, presence of baseline CKD) and to the organization of the postpartum follow-up.

Temporal relationships between hormonal and hemodynamic changes in early human pregnancy.

TL;DR: Peripheral vasodilation occurs early in pregnancy prior to full placentation in association with renal vasodilated and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting that ANP increases in response to changes in intravasular volume.

Renal hemodynamics and tubular function in normal human pregnancy

TL;DR: This paper attempts to describe the changes that occur during human pregnancy in renal hemodynamics and in certain aspects of tubular function, particularly the handling of uric acid and glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serial changes in renal haemodynamics during normal human pregnancy

TL;DR: Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and GFR/ERPF was significantly reduced during early pregnancy but rose to a value equivalent to the non‐pregnant during the third trimester.
