Acute Kidney Injury Among COVID-19-Positive Patients Is Associated With Higher Mortality: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Renal complications of COVID-19 are not yet well studied. We aimed to evaluate acute kidney injury prevalence among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection and explore its effect on patient outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 586 hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Impact of Pretransplant Dialysis Modality on Posttransplant Outcomes: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: It remains unclear whether posttransplant outcomes differ according to the pretransplant dialysis modality (peritoneal dialysis vs hemodialysis). Our aim was to assess posttransplant outcomes in patients with different predialysis modalities.

Materials And Methods: Two thousand two hundred fifty-eight kidney recipients following up in Hamed Alessa Organ transplant center in Kuwait were included and divided into two groups according to pre-transplant dialysis modality: Group 1: those who received hemodialysis (HD) and group 2: those with peritoneal dialysis (PD).
