Acute Kidney Injury Following Caesarean Section: A Case Report

Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an infrequent pregnancy complication, often associated with Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Analgesics (NSAIDs) during the postpartum period. In this case study, a multiparous, 27-year-old woman presented to the Emergency department on day six after an uncomplicated Caesarean section with severe lower back pain. She was diagnosed with AKI and was admitted for management under a multidisciplinary team. Following appropriate treatment, she was discharged with complete recovery. Managing AKI postpartum requires meticulous and collaborative intervention to prevent potential long-term complications.
