Lubomirova Clinic of Nephrology, University Hospital Aleksandrovska So a : ( ), /HELLP, (AFLP) (TTP) -..,,.,, AFLP HELLP -,, -. :,, : -,,.,,,... 1, 1431, MLjubomirova@yahoo.com Summary: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. Renal insuf ciency can complicate several other pregnancy-speci c conditions. In particular, severe preeclampsia/hellp syndrome, acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are all frequently complicated by AKI, and share several clinical features which pose diagnostic challenges to the clinician. In this article, we discuss the clinical and laboratory features, pathophysiology and treatment of these 3 conditions, with particular attention to renal manifestations. It is imperative to distinguish these conditions to make appropriate therapeutic decisions which can be lifesaving for the mother and fetus. Typically AFLP and HELLP improve after delivery of the fetus, whereas plasma exchange is the rst-line treatment for TTP. Key words: pregnancy, acute kidney injury, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura Address for correspondence: Assist Prof. M. Lubomirova, MD, PhD, Clinic of Nephrology, University Hospital Aleksandrovska, 1 Sv. Georgi So yski, Bg So a, MLjubomirova@yahoo.com ( ), , -, -,.,
