Complications Develop in Half of COVID-19 Cases Treated in Hospitals
COVID-19 severity at hospital admission predicts complications even in young adults and those without pre-existing health conditions.
Acute Kidney Injury
Acute Kidney Injury in Severe COVID-19 Cases Predicts Higher Death, Cardiovascular Risks
A study found no significant increased risks for death or major adverse cardiac events among infected patients with established chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease.
Intensive BP Lowering Cuts Major Adverse CV Events, Mortality
But adverse effects, including hypotension, acute kidney injury, syncope, more frequent with intensive treatment in those at increased CV risk
Study: Early RRT May Reduce the Risk of Dying From Severe COVID-19
Fewer sudden unexpected deaths occurred among patients who received early renal replacement therapy, investigators reported.
Study: Ibuprofen Found Safest NSAID for the Kidney
In a study comparing the effect of 9 oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on kidney function, ibuprofen conferred the lowest risk for incident eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and an eGFR decline of 30% or greater.
Pulmonary Hypertension May Up Risk for ESKD, Hospitalization, Death in CKD
The association of pulmonary hypertension with an increased risk for kidney failure in older adults with chronic kidney disease is a novel finding.
COVID-19 Virus Spike Protein Detected in Urine
In a small study, 25% of adults with COVID-19 shed SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein in their urine at least once during the course of infection.
Risk for Acute Kidney Injury High With Protocol for Post-TKA Infection
AKI seen in 14% of patients treated with antibiotic-loaded bone cement spacer after resection of periprosthetic joint infection
COVID-19 May Open New Research Paths
Learning how SARS-CoV-2 causes acute kidney injury could improve understanding of kidney physiology.
Acute Kidney Injury Associated With COVID-19 Illness
A 63-year-old man with past medical history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia was hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia after being diagnosed with COVID-19 10 days before. He was improving initially, but a few days prior to admission, he experienced worsening shortness of breath and generalized myalgia. Upon presentation, he was hypoxic and required high flow…
