PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF PREGNANCY ON SOME RENAL FUNCTION TESTS

Abstract

Pregnancy associated with a variety of physiological consequences on several organs and bodily systems, including the renal system. These effects can be investigated us-ing biochemical measures that are useful in determining renal function. In a recent re-search, the blood of 82 healthy pregnant women was tested for three parameters: urea, uric acid, and crеаtinine. The women were separated into three subgroups based ac-cording to gestational age (first, second, and third trimester). As properly as, 33 curi-ously healthful non pregnant girls as a control group, in order to look at the physiolog-ical results of pregnancy on some renal feature checks as well as, identify the impact of gestational age on these laboratory parameters. It is determined that for the dura-tion of first and second trimesters of pregnancy, the suggest values of serum urea, uric acid, and creatinine was appreciably decrease in the pregnant crew than in controls. During the third trimester, the levels of serum urea, uric acid, and crеаtinine decreased non-significantly when compare to controls. The differences in values of serum uric acid, urea, and crеаtinine levels within different trimesters show a significant changes between the third trimester and the first and second  trimesters, with third  trimester being greater than the first and second  trimesters, while the first and second  tri-mesters appear no significant difference.
