Vroege determinanten van bloeddruk en nierfunctie Follow-up van zeer prematuur geborenen tot in jong volwassenheid
In summary, the studies described in this thesis suggest that premature birth affects renal function and blood pressure at (young) adult age, and especially when born both SGA and premature. Minor differences are already detectable at young adult age. The biological mechanism is likely to originate from a decreased renal development, with alterations of vascular structure and limited nephron number.
