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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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.
