Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) may occur in more than 30% of COVID hospitalized patients, and renal recovery is poorly described.
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the renal short-term recovery profile of COVID-related AKI (COV+) compared to COVID-unrelated AKI (COV-).
Design: case-control retrospective single-center study.
Methods: All patients admitted to the Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo, who recovered AKI from April to June of 2020 (COV+, n=98) and from August to October of 2019 (COV-, n=50) were analyzed. Recovery was defined by spontaneous serum creatinine drop or withdrawal of dialysis. Serum electrolytes were analyzed during the first five days of recovery.
Results: Among 333 COV+ patients, 98 recovered from AKI (29.4%), while 50 of 177 COV- patie.. Read More»
