    Between 1966 and 1973, one French hospital reported that 141 cases of acute renal insufficiency among 760 had been admitted post abortum, with a mortality rate of 11%. Another source reports 51 cases of acute renal insufficiency post abortum among 2103 patients admitted between 1974 and 1978, with a mortality rate of 15.6%. In a hospital in Montreuil, 4 cases of septicemia and 1 case of acute renal insufficiency post abortum were observed among 950 patients between 1976 and 1979 with no fatalities.
