Intrauterine growth restriction is accompanied by decreased renal volume in the human fetus

Article Abstract:

Fetal growth restriction may make the kidneys smaller, which could explain the link between fetal growth restriction and the development of high blood pressure in adulthood. In a study of 77 pregnant women, unborn babies who were smaller than normal also had smaller than normal kidneys. Ultrasound imaging can identify unborn babies who have smaller than normal kidneys, and who may have a higher risk of high blood pressure as adults.
