Histologic explaination for reduced fetal urine production and for reduced amount of amniotic fluid in complicated pregnancy.
Reduction in the production of fetal urine and amniotic fluid has been recognised to have resulted from increased tubular mass in the kidneys of sub-acutely or chronically stressed fetuses and from reduced arteriolar luman size in kidney of acutely stressed fetuses.
