Does extreme prematurity affect kidney volume at term corrected age?

Does extreme prematurity affect kidney volume at term corrected age?

Objective. Extreme prematurity exposes the neonate to a number of potential renal insults that may result in a reduced number of glomeruli and or renal size. This may predispose these individuals to cardiovascular disease later in life. The objective was to determine using magnetic resonance imaging...

Zusammenfassung:Objective. Extreme prematurity exposes the neonate to a number of potential renal insults that may result in a reduced number of glomeruli and or renal size. This may predispose these individuals to cardiovascular disease later in life. The objective was to determine using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) whether extreme prematurity results in decreased renal volume. Methods. Neonates
