Summary Maternal plasma and urine concentrationsof β 2 ‐ microglobulin and γ‐glutamyl transpeptidase (EC:2.3.2.2) were measured serially in normal pregnancy. These parameters remained constant throughout and can therefore be used to evaluate tubular function in pregnancies complicated by renal disorders.
