More than half of cases of bilateral renal cortical necrosis occure in association with pregnancy complicated by antipartum or postpartum hemorrhage. Other causes including severe bacterial infections, hemolytic uremic syndrome, trauma, postoperative shock, burns, Acute pancreatitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, snake venoms, and phosphorus poisoning.
