Evaluation of Predictors, Kinetics of Renal Recovery and Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients with Acute Kidney Injury Admitted to Intensive Care Unit: An Observational Study
Gudivada KK, Narayan SK, Narasimha A, Krishna B, Muralidhara KD Abstract
Background: The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is greater than 50% among coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the literature on predictors and kinetics of renal recovery remains unclear.
Patients and methods: This observational study was conducted in a 30-bedded mixed ICU of a tertiary care center from May 2020 to July 2021. A total of 200 consecutive adult COVID-19 patients who had AKI in ICU were included. Using logistic regression with the best subset selection, predictors of renal recovery were identified. Outcomes and kinetics of AKI recovery were determined.
