Epidemiology and Maternal-Fetal Outcomes of Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury: A Prospective Observational Study of a Predominantly Dialysis-Requiring Cohort at a Tertiary Care Center in Northern India.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed pregnant women in northern India who had sudden kidney failure, most of them sick enough to need dialysis. Milder cases usually recovered fully. The women who needed dialysis were the ones at risk of permanently lower kidney filtering rate, or lifelong dialysis. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between severe pregnancy kidney injury and later kidney failure, not proof of cause.
