Brief summary

A randomized prospective controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the renal function and renal blood flow of post partum women with acute kidney injury.

Interventions

PROCEDUREneuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in addition to routine hospital care

Patients in the NMES group will receive NMES sessions as the electrodes will be placed around the bilateral femoral quadriceps muscles and at the site of renal arteries. NMES(\>100 Hz, 50-80 μ sec) will be performed for 55 min including 5 minutes for warm up and 5 minutes for recovery . The intensity of electrical stimulation will be adjusted to suit the comfort level of each individual patient without producing discomfort or pain.

PROCEDUREroutine hospital care without NMES

routine hospital care include all the routine intervention done for post partum women with AKI including fluid resuscitation, diuretics, hemodialysis
