Abstract

Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury, a pathology that develops secondary to obstetric complications, is associated with an increased risk of maternal mortality, especially in the post-partum period. The most common causes of acute renal failure include preeclampsia, puerperal sepsis, antepartum or postpartum hemorrhage, placental abruption or intrauterine fetal death. At the same time, COVID-19-induced nephropathy, translated into acute renal failure, further leads to increased maternal and fetal mortality, causing a higher incidence of stillbirths, low fetal weight and premature birth.
