    This study presents two cases of postpartum cortical renal necrosis, a rare condition diagnosed using clinical, biological, and imaging methods. Successful treatment involved dialysis, antihypertensive therapy, and anticoagulation, leading to kidney function recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Obstetrics
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Postpartum cortical renal necrosis is a rare but severe complication following childbirth.
    • It is characterized by acute kidney injury and often associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation.

    Purpose:

    • To report two cases of postpartum cortical renal necrosis.
    • To review the diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, morphology, and treatment strategies for this condition.

    Summary:

    • Diagnosis was based on clinical signs (oliguria), laboratory findings (coagulation defects, elevated LDH, microangiopathic anemia), renal arteriography, and biopsy.
    • Treatment involved a multi-faceted approach including hemodialysis, diuretics, antihypertensive medication, heparin, antiplatelet agents, and fresh plasma.
    • Both patients achieved functional renal recovery after 1 and 1.5 years, respectively.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive management for improving outcomes in postpartum cortical renal necrosis.
    • Contributes to the understanding of this critical obstetric and renal complication.
