Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury continues to be common in developing countries. Its occurrence during pregnancy is a serious complication, involving the prognosis of both the mother and the child. Aims and Objectives: To investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, etiology and outcome of AKI during pregnancy in patients reported to the department of Nephrology. Materials and Methods: Out of 650 AKI patients, 50 (7.69%) were associated with pregnancy. The results of a detailed medical history, physical examination, routine urine analysis, serum creatinine and renal ultrasonography were noted. Results: The age of patients ranged from 20 to 50 years with a mean of 33.42 ± 5.63 years. 17 (34%) patients were primigravid and 33 (66%) were multigravid. Of the various causes, septic abortion was the commonest cause accounting for 25 (50%) cases, 20 (80) of which occurred in the first trimester and five (20%) in the second trimester. Conclusion: PRAKI continues to be of significant occurrence accounting for 7.69 % of AKI in our study.
