Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and etiological profile of acute renal failure (ARF) in obstetric patients in Bundelkhand region. Methods: This was observational cross-sectional study. The women with previously healthy kidneys who developed renal complications during their pregnancy due to obstetrical causes were included in the study. A detailed clinical and etiological examination was done and recorded. The criteria for diagnosis of ARF was: urine output output<400 ml/day, history<3 month, bilateral normal sized kidney (9-12 cm) on ultrasonographic examination and abrupt rise of blood urea and serum creatinine. Results: More than one third of patients were between 26-30 years (36%). Multigravida (72%) parity was observed in majority of patients. Fever (70%) was the most common clinical symptom in ARF patients followed by uterine bleeding (60%), hypotension (22%), hypertension (18%), Oliguric/anuric ARF (16%). However, altered sensorium was seen in 14% and jaundice in 12%. Fluid overload and Diarrhoea each was in 10% ARF patients. The percentage of other clinical symptoms was less than 10%. HELLP syndrome (32%) was found to be the most common etiological factor in ARF patients followed by Falciparum malaria (30%), sepsis (26%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (18%), pregnancy induced hypertension (16%) and antepartum haemorrhage (14%). The percentage of other etiological factors was less than 10%. Conclusion: Prevention is the best and least expensive solution to prevent ARF. Preventing sepsis, a good antenatal care and a better management of obstetrical complications are the crucial tools to implement to achieve the purpose.
