Abstract
Renal function studies were performed on 9 patients during 1st, 2d, and 3d trimester of pregnancy and in the postpartum period. A progressive increase in renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration occurred, reaching maximum in 3d trimester and returning to non-pregnant levels after delivery. These changes speak against an added burden imposed on the kidneys by pregnancy.
