Abstract
With an uncomplicated pregnancy in a woman's body, a number of adaptive
and adaptive processes develop (hypervolemia, fluid accumulation, changes in the content
of electrolytes and non-electrolytes), in which the kidneys are directly involved. On the
other hand, the appearance of uteroplacental blood circulation, an increase in regional
hemodynamics during pregnancy cannot but affect the functional state of the kidneys of a
pregnant woman.
During physiological pregnancy, specific changes in kidney function occur, aimed at
ensuring the normal process of gestation. However, ultrasound studies of the kidneys using
intravital biopsy did not reveal any significant changes in the structure of the parenchyma.
