Abstract:Objective To investigate clinical significance of parathyroid hormone changes in patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods Aretrospective study was performed on patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage complicated with AKI admitted into the first affiliated hospital of Bengbu medical college from June 2014 to June 2016. Age, total blood loss, total norepinephrine (NA), creatinine (Cr), calcium ion (iCa2+), ionic phosphorus (P), score and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were recorded. Results Totally 80 cases were identified, among which 23 cases had grade Ⅰ AKI, 34 patients had grade Ⅱ AKI and 23 patients hadgrade Ⅲ AKI. No significant differences in total amount of NA, iCa2+ and P were founded among the 3 groups (P > 0.05). Age, Cr, total blood loss, APACHE Ⅱ score, and PTH were differentially distributed among the 3 groups (P = 0.00). Standard treatment ameliorated dramatically clinical index of Creatinine, APACHE Ⅱ score, iCa2+, P and PTH compared withthose prior to any treatments (P = 0.00). Statistically significant differences in creatinine, APACHE Ⅱ score and PTH (P > 0.05) but not with iCa2+ and P (P > 0.05) were identified. Correlation analysis indicated a linear positive correlation between PTH and creatinine or APACHE Ⅱ score but no obvious correlation was identified between PTH and iCa2+. Conclusions Parathyroid hormone is correlated to the severity of disease in patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage complicated with AKI.
