description Acute renal failure (ARF) is rarely associated with pregnancy. However, it is a severe health-deteriorating problem of pregnant women without a known kidney disease. Although its incidence is relatively low in developed countries (1/20000), it is still a serious health issue in the developing world.

In this review we aimed to summarize antepartum and postpartum causes of renal failure via summarizing two cases of renal failure.
