Abstract
Clinicians may be consulted on the advisability of conception or continuing a pregnancy in women with renal problems, and advice is too often based on anecdotal clinical experience. To give sound advice, the clinician must appreciate that a pregnant woman is physiologically different from a nonpregnant individual, and that during pregnancy there are progressive changes in the renal system that must be understood if we are to detect, diagnose, and manage disease.
