Our Experience with SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Acute Kidney Injury: Results from a Single-Center Retrospective Observational Study.

Our study revealed the association between particular risk factors and AKI progression in COVID-19 patients. Diabetes, dyspnea on admission, the need for supplemental oxygen, and admission to the intensive care unit all had a crucial role in producing unfavorable outcomes, with a death rate of more than 50%. Necessary imaging studies (CT scan severity score) and changes in specific biomarker levels (ferritin and C-reactive protein levels) were also noted. These factors should be further investigated in conjunction with the pathophysiological mechanisms of AKI progression in COVID-19 patients.
