The Relationship between Maternal Health and Infant Renal Development and Function (Old ID 25013)
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
This will be the first study to comprehensively link the maternal environment, including maternal renal size and ethnicity, to the development of the human fetal kidney and subsequent childhood kidney growth and function in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children. Developing non-invasive measures of renal development and understanding the pathway to reduce nephron number in Indigenous infants is essential for the planning of public health interventions to reduce Indigenous disadvantage in renal health.
