The application of new concepts of the assessment of the thyroid state to pregnant women
TL;DR: There is no apparent reason for there to be a change in pregnancy to the basic principles of thyroid hormone action, and the evidence suggests that, just as in the non-pregnant situation, pregnancy guidelines based on thyrotropin levels may need revision.

SK Mutiso,E Sequeira +1 more
TL;DR: It is concur that symptomatic hydronephrosis is a rare complication in pregnancy that mostly responds well with conservative measures, however, it should be suspected in a pregnant lady presenting with non resolving unilateral flank pain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of lopinavir/ritonavir on tenofovir pharmacokinetics during pregnancy was investigated in pregnant women with HIV using the International Maternal Pediatric and Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) Network P1026s protocol.

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
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.
