The renal parenchyma—evaluation of a novel ultrasound measurement to assess fetal renal development: protocol for an observational longitudinal study

Abstract: IntroductionDisorders of fetal growth, such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and large for gestational age (LGA), have been found to have a profound effect on the development of the fetal kidney. Abnormal kidney development is associated with hypertension and chronic kidney disease later in life. This study will use a novel ultrasound measurement to assess the renal parenchymal growth and kidney arterial blood flow in the fetus to evaluate the development of the fetal kidneys and provide an indirect e… Show more

“…The return of kidney function may correlate with nephron mass, as determined by cortical thickness. 15 , 16 Renal biopsy has been used by Huang et al 17 to predict the ability of the recovery. Sclerotic glomeruli was found to be associated with severe injury of the kidney and reduction in renal function.…”

“…35 El volumen renal total y el volumen cortical se reconstruyeron y se estimaron utilizando la tecnología de ecografía 3-D combinada con el análisis asistido por ordenador de órganos virtuales, una tecnología altamente reproducible y precisa para la evaluación de los volúmenes de órganos. 36,37 Se observaron niveles bastante mayores de todos los parámetros bioquímicos probados en los neonatos con RCIU, mientras que en los recién nacidos prematuros se observó un aumento significativo en la actividad de la catepsina B, el nivel de proteinuria y, en menor medida, el nivel de albuminuria. La actividad de catepsina B mostró una correlación significativa, fuerte e inversa con todos los marcadores sustitutos del número de nefronas y también se correlacionó de manera fuerte y positiva con el nivel de albuminuria.…”

“…La actividad de catepsina B mostró una correlación significativa, fuerte e inversa con todos los marcadores sustitutos del número de nefronas y también se correlacionó de manera fuerte y positiva con el nivel de albuminuria. 36,37 El volumen renal total y el volumen cortical fueron significativamente más bajos en los neonatos con RCIU y PP que en los neonatos de control. Además, la proteinuria y los niveles de albuminuria, y la actividad de NAG y de catepsina B se asociaron inversamente con todos los marcadores indirectos del número de nefronas, como la edad gestacional, peso al nacer, volumen renal total y volumen cortical.…”
