The cohort entry dates in those in the pregnant group will be the estimated date of conception; the entry dates for those in the non-pregnant group will be randomly assigned following the distribution of dates in the pregnant group. To be eligible, individuals must be between 18 and 45 years old at cohort entry. They require at least 1 serum creatinine measurement within 2 years before entry and should not have received maintenance dialysis or a prior kidney transplant. Both groups will be categorized into one of 3 levels of baseline eGFR (\u226560, 45\u201359, and &lt;45 mL\/min per 1.73 m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ).
