Thiamine deficiency in pregnancy and lactation: implications and present perspectives

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the recently published literature about thiamine and its physiologic roles, Thiamine deficiency in pregnancy, its prevalence, its impact on infants and subsequent consequences in them and highlighted the knowledge gaps within these topics.

Prediction Model for Pre-Eclampsia Using Gestational-Age-Specific Serum Creatinine Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper , a pre-eclampsia prediction model using expert knowledge and considering renal physiologic adaptation during pregnancy was proposed, which can be easily applied in primary care settings without requiring significant hospital database upgrades.

Elevated levels of renal function tests conferred increased risks of developing various pregnancy complications and adverse perinatal outcomes: insights from a population-based cohort study

TL;DR: In this article , the trimester-specific reference intervals (RIs) of RFTs in singleton and twin pregnancies were established with both of the direct observational and the indirect Hoffmann methods.

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.

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.
