eGFR, urine output linked with lack of kidney recovery among ICU patients with COVID-19

A lower baseline eGFR and reduced urine output at the start of kidney replacement therapy “are strongly and independently” correlated with lack of kidney recovery among critically ill patients with COVID-19.
Further, greater AKI severity was associated with increased in-hospital morality or worsened kidney function at discharge.
“AKI occurs frequently in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), affecting 17% to 46% of hospitalized patients, 14% to 20% of whom are treated with kidney replacement therapy (KRT),” Caroline M. Hsu, MD, from Tufts Medical Center at
