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
