Abstract
Few data are available documenting the evolution of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) during gestation. In order to investigate this aspect, 33 fetal sheep have been studied, with the use of an intrauterine fetal preparation. It appears that the actual GFR (AGFR) in milliliters per minute increased during the last third of gestation without a significant increase in CFR expressed as milliliters per minute per kilogram of fetal weight (GFR-FW) and as milliliters per minute per gram of kidney weight (GFR-KW). It is suggested that a parallel and constant increase in AGFR and in total fetal weight or kidney weight might explain the absence of variation in GFR-FW or GFR-KW during the last third of gestation.
