Is renal hyperfiltration protective in chronic kidney disease‐stage 1 pregnancies? A step forward unravelling the mystery of the effect of stage 1 chronic kidney disease on pregnancy outcomes

Abstract

In pregnant Stage 1 CKD patients, hyperfiltration was not associated with maternal-foetal outcomes, thus suggesting a need to focus attention on qualitative factors, eventually enhanced by age, as vascular stiffness, endothelial damage or oxidative stress.
