Introduction: In Guinea, data on the acute kidney injury (AKI) of women in the obstetrical context is still limited. This study attempted to determine the prevalence and the clinical signs of obstetric AKI in Guinea. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of pregnant or postpartum women with AKI, whom we treated in this institute from August 2018 to January 2019. All had normal anterior renal function with serum creatinine clearance ≥ 120 μmol/L, and then suffered AKI. Patients characteristics were examined;maternal age, gestational weeks, AKI characteristics. Results: Of 2438 pregnant women admitted during the study period, 56 showed AKI. Antepartum and postpartum AKI accounted for approximately 80% and 17%, respectively. Regarding the maternal age, Conclusion: We here demonstrated peripartum AKI in Guinea, which findings may provide fundamental data to establish some strategy against this condition in this region.
