Lesión renal aguda en pacientes obstétricas en cuidados intensivos.

The worldwide incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pregnancy is 1.6 to 6.3 per 10,000 pregnancies. In developing countries, maternal mortality due to secondary complications of acute kidney injury is 4 to 5.8%. As it is well known, most cases of acute kidney injury in obstetrics occur during the puerperium, its presentation has been associated with an increase in fetal morbidity and mortality, compared to normoevolutive pregnancies.
