Birth Weight Is Associated With Kidney Size in Middle-Aged Women
Lillås, Bjørn Steinar; Qvale, Tor Hatlestad; Richter, Blazej Konrad; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with increased risk of kidney disease due to lower nephron endowment leading to hyperfiltration and subsequent nephron loss. Kidney size is commonly used as a proxy for ... -
Intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth and risk of end-stage renal disease during the first 50 years of life
Gjerde, Anna; Lillås, Bjørn Steinar; Marti, Hans-Peter; Reisæter, Anna Varberg; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with a higher risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The relative impacts of absolute birth weight, birth weight in relation to gestational age and preterm birth are, ... -
Low birthweight is associated with lower glomerular filtration rate in middle-aged mainly healthy women
Lillås, Bjørn Steinar; Tøndel, Camilla; Assmus, Jörg; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Low birthweight (LBW) has been shown to increase the risk of severe kidney disease. Studies have also shown associations between LBW and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in young adults. In this ... -
Measurement of renal functional response using iohexol clearance—a study of different outpatient procedures
Lillås, Bjørn Steinar; Tøndel, Camilla; Gjerde, Anna; Vikse, Bjørn Egil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases after a heavy protein load; an increase termed renal functional response (RFR). Decreased RFR could be a marker of early kidney damage, but published methods are ...
