To review the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management strategies for pregnancy-related acute kidney injury caused by thrombotic microangiopathies and related disorders.
Narrative clinical review examining renal manifestations across pregnancy-specific microangiopathic conditions.
Comparative assessment of clinical presentation, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic approaches for severe preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome, acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
Severe preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome, AFLP, and TTP present with overlapping clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities, creating significant diagnostic challenges in clinical practice.
Therapeutic interventions differ fundamentally across diagnoses, with prompt fetal delivery typically resolving HELLP syndrome and AFLP, whereas TTP mandates first-line treatment with plasma exchange.
