Abstract

Renal (and cardiovascular) risks are to a considerable extent determined in utero. The results of the prospective study of Verburg et al., sequentially measuring the growth of fetuses and the volume of their kidneys in a large population-based sample, identify some determinants of impaired growth of fetal kidneys.
