An Overview of Kidney Failure in Covid-19 Patients

Abstract

A coronavirus (COVID-19) illness epidemic began in Wuhan, in December and quickly disseminated to other locations across the world. Although severe respiratory failure and diffuse alveolar injury were the major symptoms, organ involvement has to be investigated. Since there is little information on renal illness in people with COVID-19, we looked at how frequently these people have acute kidney damage (AKI). Additionally, we looked at the correlation between COVID-19 patients' mortality rates and signs of impaired renal function. The coronavirus disease outbreak from 2019 (COVID-19) at the start of 2020 caused a pandemic and widespread concern. Since then, the fatality rate has risen in tandem with the exponential rise in the number of infected persons. The mortality risk of COVID-19 in individuals with renal illness has not yet been compiled in research on Kidney disease (KD). As a result, the current study's goal was to provide an overview of kidney failure in patients. Patients with KD with COVID-19 infection had a death rate that was considerably greater than that of KD patients without COVID-19 infection; these patients have a high mortality risk and need a thorough multidisciplinary care plan.
