Kidney Volume-to-Birth Weight Ratio as a Surrogate Indicator for the Number of Nephrons in Extremely Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants

2024-02-28

Abstract excerpt

In humans, nephrogenesis is completed 4–6 weeks after birth, resulting in a highly variable total number of nephrons, ranging from 200,000 to over 2 million. Premature birth disrupts the development and maturation of the kidneys, leading to a reduction in the final number of nephrons. Due to significant genetic variability in the number of nephrons among individuals, it is crucial to identify premature infants wit...
