Acute kidney injury is a common medical condition that affects 30% of seriously ill patients and 5% of all hospitalised patients. In obstetric patients, the frequency varies between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 25000 pregnancies. The effects of AKI on fetomaternal outcomes and associated therapeutic therapies have only received a limited amount of research in India to now. Our research focuses on the examination of acute renal damage in pregnancy.
