Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury requiring dialysis: experience from a tertiary hospital in Tanzania

Women with pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) often present in a state of critical illness, commonly due to severe hypertensive disorders or other obstetric complications. Those requiring dialysis represent the most severe end of this spectrum, where outcomes are further worsened in low-resource settings by delayed diagnosis, limited access to timely nephrology care, and constrained critical care capacity. Despite this burden, data on pregnancy-related acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (PRAKI-D) in Tanzania are limited. This study describes the clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of these patients at a tertiary hospital.
