POSTPARTUM ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: A CASE REPORT

Acute kidney injury after childbirth is a rare disorder. However, it can have long-term consequences for the mother and the baby. Among the risk factors causing acute kidney injury are placental abruption and preeclampsia. The purpose of this article is to describe a case of postpartum acute renal failure that occurred in connection with placental abruption and preeclampsia.

Case report: 

The patient was referred at 33 weeks and five days of gestation based on ultrasound with complaints of labor pain and vaginal treatment. Our report is an interesting case for several reasons: a patient underwent a cesarean section with suspicion of placental abruption and was then treated for suspicion of preeclampsia and finally diagnosed with acute renal failure. Also, differential diagnosis was difficult due to the increase in liver function tests and the outflow of serous fluid.

Paying attention to the risk factors of Acute kidney failure plays a significant role in better management of midwifery services. Therefore, placental abruption and its risk factors should be carefully evaluated as an independent risk factor for perinatal mortality.
