Acute renal failure in pregnant patients Clinical case and review of the literature

Abstract

In addition to the same causes of acute renal failure as the general population, pregnant women adjoin those diseases associated with pregnancy. If this happens, the overall prognosis is good and recovery of renal function is complete, this if it is early diagnosed and treated. Management with renal replacement therapy is used as a bridge until the cause of renal dysfunction is treated and pregnancy has concluded. We present a case of a pregnant patient with HELLP syndrome and Abruptio placentae who suffered acute renal failure and required temporal renal replacement therapy.
