Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients aged 18 or old and hemodynamically stable.
- •Post-partum women who developed AKI.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Pregnant women .
- •Patients who required any emergency or elective surgery during the study; those who presented acute heart or lung disease, skin rashes, tumors, infections, diabetes mellitus or hypoesthesia in the region that the neuromuscular electrical stimulation would be applied.
- •Patients with a Pacemaker.

Arms & Interventions
NMES group
Intervention: neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in addition to routine hospital care (Procedure)
control group
Intervention: routine hospital care without NMES (Procedure)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
renal function change
Time Frame: for 7 days
serum creatinine level will be assessed and it will show improvement
renal blood flow change
Time Frame: for 7 days
urine output will be assessed and it will show improvement
Secondary Outcomes
