Postpartum Renal Cortical Necrosis: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Postpartum renal cortical necrosis (postpartum RCN) is a severe form of obstetric acute kidney injury. This study aimed to identify clinicopathologic features in Chinese postpartum RCN cases to determine how pathologic findings may contribute to the treatment and prognosis.

Study design

Single-center, case series.

Setting & participants

Twelve patients with postpartum RCN had kidney biopsies at Peking University First Hospital between 2014 and 2021. The diagnosis of postpartum RCN was made according to typical magnetic resonance imaging or pathologic features. Clinical, laboratory, and pathologic data were compared between patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 (poor outcome) and ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m² after 6 months.
