Pregnancy-associated changes in urinary uromodulin excretion in chronic hypertension

CONCLUSIONS: In summary, we demonstrate pregnancy-associated differences in urinary uromodulin: creatinine ratio and uromodulin excretion rate between chronic hypertensive and normotensive pregnancies. Further research is needed to fully understand uromodulin physiology in human pregnancy and establish uromodulin's potential as a biomarker for renal adaptation and renal function in pregnancy.PMID:38236469 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01830-6
