Obstetric factors associated with it are preeclampsia\/eclampsia, sepsis, hemorrhage and dehydration. Here, we aim to find out the prevalence of complete recovery of renal function among obstetric patients with acute kidney injury.\nMethods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021 where obstetric patients who had developed acute kidney injury were included and followed till 6 weeks of diagnosis. Ethical approvalwas obtained from Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital (IRC- NMCTH 437\/2020). The convenience sampling method was used. Data entry and analysis were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.\nResults: Out of total 66 obstetric patients with acute kidney injury, 45 (68.2%) (57-79.3 at 95% Confidence Interval) had complete recovery of renal function. Rate of renal function recovery in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 acute kidney injury were 19 (90%), 19 (86%) and 7 (58%) respectively. The most common causes of acute kidney injury were Preeclampsia\/eclampsia 18 (40%), sepsis 23 (28.8%) and hemorrhage 10 (22.2%).\nConclusions:\u00a0The prevalence of complete recovery in obstetric patients with acute kidney injury was similar to findings from other studies done in similar settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31729\/jnma.7135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]],"date-time":"2021-12-11T19:25:31Z","timestamp":1639250731000},"page":"1289-1292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Complete Recovery of Renal Function among Obstetric Patients with Acute Kidney Injury at a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.31729","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Rakina","family":"Bhansakarya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gehanath","family":"Baral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shailendra","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shanti","family":"Subedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sita","family":"Ghimire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3284-0007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prajmi","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8816-0970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amar","family":"Nath Chaudhary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16919","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]},"container-title":["Journal of Nepal Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/download\/7135\/3935","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/download\/7135\/3935","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]],"date-time":"2021-12-17T19:29:30Z","timestamp":1639769370000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/view\/7135"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"244","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31729\/jnma.7135","relation":{},"ISSN":["1815-672X","0028-2715"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1815-672X"},{"type":"print","value":"0028-2715"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]]}}}
