      <b><p>Introduction:</b> Renal functional response (RFR) is the acute increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a protein load. Low RFR is a marker of single nephron hyperfiltration. Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with reduced number of nephrons, lower kidney function, and smaller kidneys in adults. In the present study, we investigate the associations among LBW, kidney volume, and ...
