Pregnant women with AKI requiring dialysis presented renal dysfunction in the postpartum period due to obstetric complications or infectious conditions. In our sample, there was a high mortality rate of 40 %. However, all surviving pregnant women showed at least partial recovery of renal function and were discharged without the need for dialysis. Fetal outcomes included a lower rate of live births and a higher rate of prematurity compared to the general population.
