Description

This educational review examines how maternal health during pre-gestational and gestational phases (including nutrition, toxins, and diseases) influences the intra-uterine milieu, leading to developmental programming that impacts fetal kidney development. It highlights the increased risk for low nephron number, neonatal acute kidney injury, and long-term cardio-kidney-metabolic diseases, focusing on kidney health from the neonatal period to adulthood.
