Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a serious complication that may be encountered in pregnancy. In addition to other causes of acute kidney injury in the general population, pregnancy may bring some additional causes specific to pregnancy, namely preeclampsia and acute fatty liver of pregnancy.In addition, obstetric complications may indirectly cause acute kidney injury, as a result of hypoperfusion such as postpartum haemorrhage. In this chapter, we will cover these causes in more details as well as their diagnosis and management.
