Popis: Preterm birth incurs a higher risk for adult cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. Because preterm birth may impact nephrogenesis, study objectives were to assess renal size and function of adults born preterm versus full term and to examine their relationship with blood pressure (BP; 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring) and circulating renin-Ang (angiotensin) system peptides. The study included 92 young adults born (1987-1997) preterm (≤29 weeks of gestation) and term (n=92) matched for age, sex, and race. Young adults born preterm had smaller kidneys (80±17 versus 90±18 cm
