How does pregnancy affect the kidneys?

During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes significant physiological changes, including increased blood volume and changes in hormone levels, which can affect kidney function. The kidneys must work harder to filter the increased blood volume, which can put additional stress on them. Conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia are of particular concern as they can lead to kidney damage if not managed properly.
