Luke F. Enthoven,Yuanyuan Shi,Emily E. Fay,Sue L. Moreni,Jennie Mao,Emma M. Honeyman,Chase K. Smith,Dale Whittington,Susan E. Brockerhoff,Nina Isoherranen,Rheem A. Totah,Mary F. Hebert +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used metabolomics analysis to determine pathways impacted by pregnancy followed by targeted confirmatory analysis to provide more powerful conclusions about metabolic alterations during pregnancy and found evidence for changes in both the ammonia-urea nitrogen and the branched-chain amino acid metabolism taking place during pregnancy.

Proximal tubular dysfunction in pregnant women receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the risk of proximal tubulopathy in pregnant women receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for PMTCT of HBV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pr-AKI: Acute Kidney Injury in Pregnancy – Etiology, Diagnostic Workup, Management
TL;DR: The current literature is used to provide a summary of the physiologic and pathophysiologic changes in renal physiology which occur during pregnancy and to present common and rare disorders which lead to Pr-AKI.

Emergency Imaging of the Pregnant Patient: General Principles
TL;DR: By understanding the complex physiologic changes experienced by the pregnant patient in common emergency scenarios, as well as imaging considerations for the fetus, this work aims to clarify the utilization of imaging examinations in the emergency evaluation of the pregnant patients.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal hemodynamics and tubular function in normal human pregnancy
J. M. Davison,William Dunlop +1 more
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.
