Pregnancy affects many organ systems and causes significant physiological changes that are mainly caused by changes in hormone levels. This review explores the complex interactions between pregnancy-related hormonal changes and renal function, providing insights into the practical applications of these relationships. Extensive literature searches were conducted, combining data from several sources to produce thorough knowledge. Essential discoveries include changes in renal hemodynamics, calcium/phosphorus level variations, thyroid gland hypertrophy, changed function, and cardiovascular adaptations. The review also addresses how sex hormones affect immunological responses, emphasizing their importance for conditions like multiple sclerosis. Additionally impacted is the gastrointestinal tract, which results in symptoms like nausea and heartburn. Comprehending these physiological changes is essential for proficient therapeutic handling, guaranteeing the best possible health for both the mother and the fetus. The study emphasizes the importance of specialized medical treatment during pregnancy and calls for more investigation to clarify the intricacies of these physiological changes.
