- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-positive patients, with a significant portion (30.7%) experiencing AKI, primarily at stage 1.* -
- Patients with severe COVID-19 are more likely to develop AKI, with strong associations found between AKI occurrence and high levels of ferritin and IL-6, along with azotemia at admission.* -
- The study highlights a connection between AKI severity and increased risk of in-hospital death, emphasizing that AKI is a critical factor affecting outcomes in COVID-19 patients treated outside the ICU.*
