[Post-abortum acute renal insufficiency]
Abstract
PIP: Acute kidney failure following induced criminal abortion in 29 patients is described. After a latency period, gastrointestinal symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, and pain appear,W These are followed by the shock-fever-hemolysis triad characteristic of the syndrome. Hepatic symptomatology, especially jaundice, is also present, as are hemorrhage and neurologic manifestations. Recommended treatment includes massive doses of antibiotics, blood transfusions, and hemo- or peritoneal dialysis; hysterectomy may be indicated in some cases. The high mortality rate (40%) is apparently due to shock and septic complications, and raises moral, social and ethical questions about criminal abortion.
