Q

Causes of acute kidney injury are the
following, EXCEPT:

a. Preeclampsia
b. Gestational diabetes
c. Hypovolemia in placenta previa
d. massive hemorrhage in abruptio
placenta

A

b. Gestational diabetes

acute renal ischemia is still often associated with severe
preeclampsia and hemorrhage . Particularly contributory are HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low
platelet levels) syndrome and placental abruption . Septicemia is another frequent comorbidity. AKI is also common in women with acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Some degree of renal insuiciency was found in some . Another developed AKI from dehydration caused by severe hyperemesis gravidarum at 15 weeks. Other causes include thrombotic micro angiopathies (page 1036)

d. Group B streptococcus

If this infection is suspected, a urine sample obtained by catheterization may be preferred to avoid obscuring contamination from the lower genital tract. The urinary sediment contains many leukocytes, frequently in clumps, and numerous bacteria. Bacteremia is demonstrated in 1 5 to 20 percent of these women. E coli is isolated from urine or blood in 70 to 80 percent of infections, Klebsiela pneumoniae in 3 to 5 percent, Enterobacter or Proteus species in 3 to 5 percent, and gram-positive organisms, including group B Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus in up to 10 percent of cases (page 1028)

20
Q

The good standard for the diagnosis of Asymptomatic bacteuria is Urine Culture.In the absence of urine culture this can be an alternative laboratory test for screening asympromatic bacteuria in pregnancy
