Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study was conducted at Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital to assess the frequency of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill COVID-19 patients from January 2020 to December 2021.
- Out of 177 patients, 49.7% experienced AKI, which typically developed around 7.63 days after hospitalization, with significant rates of progression in a subset of patients.
- The study found that AKI patients had much higher mortality rates in both the ICU (86.4%) and hospital settings (92%), emphasizing the importance of factors like age, SOFA score, and nephrotoxic agents in AKI risk during COVID-19 illness.
