Abstract

Objective: To Determine The Frequency Of Acute Kidney Injury In Women With Preeclampsia Present At Shaikh Zaid Women Hospital Cmc, Smbbmu Larkana.

Study Design: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.

Setting ; This Study Was Conducted At The Department Of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Smbbmu, Larkana, Pakistan.

Duration: Six Months After The Approval Of Synopsis From June 29, 2022 To

December 28, 2022.

Informed Consent Was Taken After Explaining The Procedure, Risks And Benefits Of The Study. In Our Study, Written Consent Was Taken From All The Pregnant Preeclamptic Women And Recruited To Admit In Ward And Further Evaluated For Acute Kidney Injury. All The Collected Data Were Entered Into The Proforma.

Results: The Mean ± Sd Of Age Was 29.8±5.6 Years. The Mean ± Sd Of Parity Was 2.2±0.7 With C.I (2.08…….2.31). Acute Kidney Injury Was Found In 26 (18.6%) Women.
