  • Title: [Acute renal insufficiency in septic abortion].
    Author: Serniak PS, Novosad PV.
    Journal: Vrach Delo; 1973 Dec; 12():54-8. PubMed ID: 4787478.
    Abstract:
    149 patients who had suffered acute renal failure during septic abortion were studied. The major cause of renal failure was bacterial shock (85.2%). Combating shock, stimulating diuresis, blood transfusions, and early cleansing of the uterine cavity are thought to be of major significance in the prophylaxis and treatment of this disease. Direct blood transfusion and extrarenal depuration of blood (peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis) was included in the oligoanuria stage. 69.1% of the patients recovered, 39.1% died. Follow-up studies in 79 patients revealed the renal failure was later complicated by chronic pyelonephritis.
