Osmolar and free water clearances were evaluated during the first trimester Cn=11, second trimester (n=17) and the third trimester (n=27) of healthy pregnant women. Compared with non-pregnant values, no significant differences were determined in both of these clearance levels, indicating that urinary diluting and concentrating abilities are not impaired during normal pregnancy. Keywords: Pregnancy, osmolar clearance, free water clearance.
