Abstract

One of the most difficult and dangerous pregnancy problems is acute kidney injury (AKI). We discuss our observations regarding the clinical characteristics and results of 60 patients who had AKI due to pregnancy who were seen throughout the research period. Examining the prevalence, characteristics, and effects of acute kidney injury (AKI) during pregnancy in the Indian population was the aim of this study. Materials and Method: in the study the patients were women who were pregnant with AKI.Patients were examined using demographic data, a detailed history, a clinical examination, and laboratory tests. The main result was a change in maternal renal function, including progression to chronic kidney disease and restoration to normal renal function (CKD). The delivery method, pregnancyrelated issues and maternal mortality were all regarded as secondary outcomes. Results: The present study included 60 patients in total, with an average age of 26 years. 41.2% of the individuals were primigravida, and 49.9% had severe anaemia. AKI was primarily brought on by pre-eclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage. During the three-month follow-up period, it was noted that the renal outcome had significantly improved, with 30 patients achieving full renal recovery and remaining patients developing CKD with mild to no recovery. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels were increased in all individuals but later recovered to normal. Conclusion: According to our study, women with AKI due to pregnancy frequently experience multi-organ problems and need mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy. As a result, managing AKI caused by pregnancy offers a challenge that necessitates an accurate assessment of the contributing factors to enable effective therapy
