RESUMEN
Postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition characterized by a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function that occurs shortly after childbirth. Several risk factors may be associated with postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI). Understanding the possible risk factors is essential for timely intervention and improved maternal healthcare. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors of postpartum acute kidney injury patients. This prospective observational study took place at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, from March 2020 to April 2021. It was carried out in the Departments of Nephrology and Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology, where 153 postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI) patients were enrolled through purposive sampling. The study collected data on patient demographics, etiology and presentation. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 26.0, with a significance threshold set at p<0.05 for all tests. Among participants, puerperal sepsis (77.8%) and toxemia of pregnancy (58.8%) were prevalent risk factors. Intrauterine death was rare (1.3%). Other risk factors such as postpartum hemorrhage 22.2%, HELLP syndrome 11.1%, and antepartum hemorrhage 15.0% were found. A statistically significant difference in postpartum hemorrhage prevalence (p=0.038) was noted between hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients. Puerperal sepsis is the most common risk factor for postpartum acute kidney injury, closely followed by toxemia of pregnancy. Intrauterine death is rare, while postpartum hemorrhage significantly affects subjects, with variations noted between hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients.

This observational study was carried out in the Department of Nephrology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 179 patients were included in this study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed written consent was taken from each patient. All patients were underwent detail history taking, thorough physical examination and relevant investigations. Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 23.0. Mean age ±SD of the study patients was 47.06±14.1 with a majority in age group 41-50 years. Male predominance was observed with a male: female ratio of 2.19:1 and 68.7% male patients. Level of pre-dialysis, post-dialysis urea in the study population was 123.77±26.86mg/dl, 50.27±15.70mg/dl respectively and mean ±SD of Urea Reduction Ratio (URR) in hemodialysis (target >65.0%) was 67.2±1.9. Most of the 8 hours (two times) per week hemolysis patients could not achieve the target value of dialysis adequacy parameters. On the other hand, maximum people in 12 hours (three times) per week hemodialysis group achieved the target value of dialysis adequacy parameters. It is important to calculate Kt/V or URR and individualize the dialysis doses for each patient.
