This is a retrospective epidemiological control case type study of twenty-four deaths caused by septic abortion attended at our Hospital from 1985 through 1992. Control group consisted of 72 pregnant women who survived.. Septic abortion mortality rate was 67,3 per 100000 live newborns. Highest rate, 176,6, occurred in 1991. Mortality rate factor were 5 or more pregnancies (OR=1,7), gestational age over 16 week (OR=5,0), time from abortion maneuvers over 5 days (OR=1,7), septic shock (OR=8,5), anemia (OR=3,4), acute renal failure (OR=17,0), uterine perforation (OR=3,4), disseminated intravascular coagulation (OR=60,0), pelvic thrombophlebitis (OR = 10,2), multisystemic failure (OR=6,5) and lung shock (OR = 6,5). Significant symptoms were yellowish foul odor discharge, jaundice, petechiae, disnea and muscular pain. Main medical and surgical treatment consisted in blood and plasma transfusions, cardiotonics and anticoagulation, and hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy. Main causes of death, were septic shock, acute renal failure, multisystemic failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation and lung thromboembolism.

Acute Renal Failure is most challenging clinical problem when it occurs during pregnancy. Septic abortion is the most common cause of PRAKI in developing countries but its worldwide incidence has declined significantly. Sometimes septic abortion complicated by multiorgan failure. This 35 yrs multiparous lady having history of induced abortion, presented with multiorgan dysfunction. The patient was successfully treated and discharged with total care.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research, 2015;2(2):47-48

Introduction: Acute renal failure (ARF) during pregnancy is rareevent and continues to be common in developing countries. Period: 1998-2005. Setting: Nephro-urology unit atChandka Medical College, Larkana. Study Design: Retrospective study. Patients & Methods: 294 cases of AcuteRenal Failure were treated. Among these cases, 72 (24.5%) were pregnancy related in origin. All of these patients wereknown to be previously healthy. Results: Pregnancy related Acute Renal Failure was associated with, post partumhemorrhage was in 20(27.7%), intra uterine death in 20(27.7%) antipartum hemorrhage was 18(25%), preeclampsiaeclampsia in 8(11.11%) and septic abortion and puerperal sepsis in6(8.3%). Among these patients 65(90.3%) requireddialysis therapy because of moderate to severe azotemia. 35(48.61%) patients recovered normal function. 30(46.15%)developed irreversible renal function. Conclusion: Early reorganization of this disorder, improvement of health infrastructure, antenatal health care and intensive supportive therapy, can reduce maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity.
