Abstract:
Newborn due to low birth weight caused by preterm or fetal growth restriction will have an adverse effect on kidney development. In adulthood,the long-term adverse effects of low birth weight are associ-ated with a variety of kidney disease. Current studies suggest that low birth weight may participate in a variety of kidney disease development and progression by affecting the nephron number,the function of the vascular struc-ture and the endocrine level. This paper mainly reviews the relationship between low birth weight and kidney dis-ease.
