Nephrology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Patna, IND.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been observed that acute kidney injury (AKI) especially requiring intervention support of hemodialysis has notably increased mortality rates among COVID-19-positive critically ill patients; however, comprehensive data regarding this from India, especially the eastern territory, remains sparse. This study aims to outline the demographic, clinical, and biochemical characteristics, along with the outcomes, of these patients.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Patna, from March 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021.
Vitamin D and COVID-19: comparative analysis with other respiratory infections and impact of comorbidities.

Pharm, PhD, Faculty of Pharmacy, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No. 6 Traian Vuia street, Bucharest, 020956, Romania.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has promoted an intensive investigation into the pathophysiological mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, risk factors, and its impact on disease severity. Vitamin D has generated significant attention for its potential role in viral prevention and immune defense due to its pleiotropic functions, including immunomodulation and antimicrobial effects. This study aimed to assess serum 25(OH)D3 levels in patients with COVID-19 compared to those with other viral respiratory infections and to evaluate associations of vitamin D levels with symptomatology, clinical characteristics, presence of comorbidities and laboratory investigation.

Iron deficiency is prevalent among pregnant women because of the increased maternal iron requirements. Uncorrected maternal iron deficiency can lead to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess serum ferritin concentration and prevalence of iron deficiency among pregnant women in Jiangsu, China.

Background: Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) often encounter anemia. Roxadustat has not only undergone phase II-III clinical trials in patients suffering from CKD and undergoing HD; a number of post-marketing clinical studies have been conducted using the drug. This article was to assess the effectiveness and safety of roxadustat in managing anemia among patients with CKD undergoing HD.

Background And Objectives: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes due to their compromised immune systems and chronic inflammatory state. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the inflammatory status of COVID-19 patients with CKD, stratified by creatinine clearance (CrCl) levels: CrCl < 30 mL/min, CrCl 30-60 mL/min, and CrCl > 60 mL/min. Multiple inflammatory scores combining laboratory parameters were assessed, including novel scores and established indices.
