About

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.

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients aged 18 or old and hemodynamically stable.
• Post-partum women who developed AKI.

• Patients with a Pacemaker.
• Epileptic Patients.
• Patients with recent effects of stroke (less than 3 months).
• Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 230 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure > 120 mm Hg).
