Aims and Objectives: To study epidemiological factors, risk factors, morbidity and mortality among patients in postpartum period having acute kidney injury at a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: This is a Retrospective Study based on obstetric patients with oliguria/anuria or referred for high s.creatinine to Civil Hospital, Ahmadabad, Gujarat, India from July 2014 to January 2015. Details of these patients like history, examination and investigation findings were recorded and final data analysis done. Results: All of the patients with postpartum AKI had oliguria/anuria and /or high serum creatinine. Most of the patients were anaemic. Most of the AKI occurred in early (__ampersandsignlt;24 hours after delivery) postpartum period. Dialysis was required in majority of the patients. Sepsis was the cause of death in these patients; mortality was higher among patients who delivered at home. Conclusions: Postpartum kidney injury is usually a consequence of obstetric complications. In our study, most common etiological factor was puerperal sepsis and it was the cause for morbidity and mortality so the priorities in managing AKI should include early recognition, institution of appropriate preventive measures, identification and treatment of cause, timely initiation of renal replacement therapy.
