Renal Physiology of Pregnancy
TLDR
The kidneys increase in length and volume, and physiologic hydronephrosis occurs in up to 80% of women, which is fundamental in caring for the pregnant patient.About:

Clinical algorithms for the management of intrapartum maternal urine abnormalities
TL;DR: A systematic search and review were conducted on the current guidelines from WHO, NICE, ACOG and RCOG up to May 2020 to develop evidence-based clinical algorithms for management of common intrapartum urinary abnormalities as discussed by the authors .

Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in pregnant women
Fernández-Riejos Patricia,Sánchez-Mora Catalina,Toribio Raquel Galván,Odriguez-Chacón Carmen,León-Justel Antonio +4 more
TL;DR: Pregnancy induces marked changes in the cardiovascular and plasma volume regulatory systems, and the kidneys show marked glomerular hyperfiltration, resulting in a decrease in the patient’s serum creatinine with advancing gestational age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kidney Biopsy in Pregnant Women with Glomerular Diseases: Focus on Lupus Nephritis
TL;DR: The results of the kidney biopsy suggest the need to initiate an appropriate treatment, allowing the progression of the pregnancy and the fetal viability or the anticipation of delivery as discussed by the authors , which can identify new-onset systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and necrotizing or primitive glomerular diseases.

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.
