What Causes Acute Kidney Injury in Gynecology?

AKI in gynecology can be attributed to various factors:
Surgical Complications: Procedures like hysterectomies or oophorectomies can lead to AKI due to hemorrhage, sepsis, or obstruction of the urinary tract.
Pregnancy-Related Conditions: Conditions such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome can cause AKI due to impaired blood flow to the kidneys.
Medications: Certain drugs used in gynecological practice, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and contrast agents, can cause nephrotoxicity.
Infections: Severe infections such as pyelonephritis or septic abortion can precipitate AKI.
