Abstract

This narrative review synthesizes global and Pakistani evidence regarding the role of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and miscarriages. It explores epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical cases, and resistance trends with particular emphasis on the Pakistani maternal health landscape. The review highlights the preventable nature of UTI-related complications and calls for strengthening antenatal screening, antimicrobial stewardship, and maternal sepsis management to reduce preventable pregnancy loss and maternal mortality.
