Overview
Female Infertility
Female infertility is the inability to become pregnant after regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a period of time. It can result from problems with ovulation, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, or other reproductive structures. Age is an important factor because fertility generally decreases with increasing age. Infertility may involve one partner or both partners and can sometimes remain unexplained after evaluation.
Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury is a sudden decline in kidney function that develops over hours or days. The kidneys may temporarily lose their ability to remove waste products and maintain normal fluid, electrolyte, and acid balance. Causes include severe dehydration, infection, reduced blood flow, urinary obstruction, and certain medicines or other kidney-injuring substances.

Female Infertility
Evaluation of female infertility includes a medical and reproductive history and physical examination. Tests may assess ovulation and hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and the structure of the uterus and fallopian tubes. Pelvic ultrasound is commonly used, and other procedures may be performed when indicated. Evaluation of both partners is generally important because infertility may have female, male, combined, or unexplained causes.
Acute Kidney Injury
Diagnosis involves identifying a sudden change in kidney function through blood and urine tests. Serum creatinine and urine output are important measures. Healthcare professionals may examine urine for blood, protein, infection, or other abnormalities and may use ultrasound or other imaging when obstruction is suspected. The medical history helps identify dehydration, infection, medicines, toxins, or other potential causes.
Prevention
Female Infertility
Not all female infertility can be prevented, particularly infertility related to age, genetics, or some medical conditions. Avoiding smoking and recreational drugs, limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and preventing sexually transmitted infections can help protect reproductive health. Prompt evaluation of menstrual or reproductive problems and appropriate treatment of conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic infections may also help preserve fertility.
Acute Kidney Injury
Preventing dehydration, promptly treating serious infections, maintaining appropriate blood pressure and circulation, and avoiding unnecessary exposure to kidney-injuring medicines can reduce risk. People taking medicines that may affect kidney function may require monitoring, particularly during illness or dehydration. Urinary obstruction should be evaluated promptly. Individuals with chronic medical conditions should follow their treatment and monitoring plans.
Risk Factors
Female Infertility
Age is an important risk factor for female infertility because the number and quality of eggs decrease over time. Other factors include smoking, excessive alcohol use, significant weight problems, certain medical conditions, previous pelvic infections or surgery, endometriosis, and disorders affecting ovulation. Some treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, can also affect fertility.
Acute Kidney Injury
Risk is increased by older age, chronic kidney or heart disease, diabetes, severe infection, dehydration, major surgery, blood loss, low blood pressure, urinary obstruction, and exposure to medicines or substances that can injure the kidneys. Hospitalized and critically ill patients are particularly vulnerable. The risk depends on the severity and duration of the underlying problem.
