Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a marker of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), although its definition and relevance in an obstetric population is unclear. Hypertensive disease of pregnancy is a salient etiology of renal dysfunction, especially in women with preexisting chronic hypertension (CHTN). We aimed to examine AKI in pregnancies with CHTN with superimposed preeclampsia with severe features (SPE) using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.
