Acute Kidney Injury during pregnancy decreases pup size and sensorimotor development

Acute Kidney Injury in Pregnancy

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life threatening complication of pregnancy.The incidence of AKI has sharply declined from 0.5 per 1000 pregnancies to one in 20,000 births in developed countries. (Beaufilis,2005) On the other hand, pregnancy is still responsible for 15–20% of AKI in developing countries. (Naqvi, 1996)Pregnancy related AKI (PRAKI) is on the decline from 14.5% reported in 1987 to 4...

Acute Kidney Injury in Pregnancy-specific Disorders

The incidence of acute kidney injury in pregnancy (P-AKI) has declined significantly over the last three decades in developing countries. However, it is still associated with significant fetomaternal mortality and morbidity. The diagnosis of P-AKI is based on the serum creatinine increase. The usual formulas for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are not validated in this population. T...

Pregnancy outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury during pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Presently, the matter of pregnancy outcomes of patients with pregnancy related AKI (PR-AKI) were disputed. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of PR-AKI on pregnancy outcomes. METHOD We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, VIP, CNKI and Wanfang Databases for cohort or case-control studies in women with PR-AKI and those without AKI as a control group to ass...

challenges in diagnosis and treatment of acute kidney injury during pregnancy

Epithelial transport during septic acute kidney injury.

A goal for scientists studying septic acute kidney injury (AKI) should be to formulate a conceptual model of disease that is able to coherently reconcile the molecular and inflammatory consequences of sepsis with impaired epithelial tubular function, diminished glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ultimately kidney failure. Recent evidence has shed light on how sepsis modulates the tubular regu...
