Effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on maternal renal health: An investigation of the levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in maternal serum
Abstract:Aim: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe condition that occurs in 0.8-2.0% of pregnant women and can lead to kidney damage. Within minutes of ischemic perfusion injury, renal distal tubular cells release neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). The aim of this study was to assess the levels of NGAL in maternal serum after HG onset and the association between HG severity, renal ischemia, and subsequent kidney damage. Methods: In this case-control study, the control group comprised healthy voluntee… Show more
