Accuracy of Venous Excess Ultrasound Score at Hospital Admission to Predict Acute Kidney Injury

Accuracy of the Venous Excess Ultrasound Score at Hospital Admission to Predict Acute Kidney Injury in Preeclampsia With Severe Features: A Prospective Observational Study

To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of venous excess ultrasound score to predict acute kidney injury

Preeclampsia is a common health problem during pregnancy. such condition may result in serious consequences including acute kidney injury. researchers of this study aim to evaluate the ability of venous excess ultrasound score at hospital admission to predict acute kidney injury in preeclampsia with severe features

Inclusion Criteria:

• preeclampsia with severe features

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient refusal
• Preexisting renal impairment (defined as baseline serum creatinine > 1.3 mg/dl)
• Inability to obtain adequate Doppler views
• Renal transplantation
• Previous need for renal replacement therapy
