Birthweight predicts glomerular filtration rate in adult-life: population based cross sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Birthweight had a positive relationship with eGFR. Possible explanations include an association of birthweight with nephron-endowment. From a global health perspective but more in developing countries and in populations in epidemiologic transition, where substantially lower birthweights coexist with recently improved infant and adult survivals, the overall impact of this phenomenon on the population health profile could be more substantial.PMID:33896360 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2021.1915798
