Article Synopsis
- Aguascalientes has a high rate of kidney failure in young adults, potentially linked to low kidney volume (KV) at birth and exposure to harmful substances (xenobiotics).
- The study involved 299 healthy pregnant women, analyzing their urine, amniotic fluid, and their newborns' urine to measure various toxic metals and pesticides, alongside calculating the total kidney volume.
- Results indicated that exposure to specific pesticides and fluoride during pregnancy correlated with low kidney volume in infants, suggesting a possible connection to kidney health issues and electrolyte imbalances.
