Maternal age, body mass index, and gravidity were recorded. For measurement of SPCR, spot urine samples were collected from each participant at three predefined time points during pregnancy. Pregnancies complicated with (pre)gestational diabetes or pre\u2010eclampsia, urinary tract infection, or other renal diseases were excluded from the study.
