Abstract
Background: In COVID-19 disease, acute respiratory failure and diffuse alveolar damage are common clinical features. Early Symptom include fever, cough and Shortness of breath. Although lungs are the primary organ to be affected by COVID-19, in severe cases other organs can also be affected. Patients admitted with COVID-19, may also have acute kidney damage, some requiring hemodialysis.
Objectives: To study the incidence of AKI in patients of COVID 19 disease.
Methods: An observational study was conducted on 310 patients of COVID 19 disease admitted in a tertiary care hospital.
Results: Out of 310 COVID 19 patients, 227 (73.2%) were males and 83 (26.7%) were females. 81 (26.12 %) patients belong to mild, 75 (24.19%) to moderate and 154 (37.4 %) to severe COVID 19 disease. Overall AKI was present in 75 (24.19%) patients. In mild disease 8 (9.8%) patients, in moderate disease 14 (18.6%) patients and in severe disease 53 (34.4%) patients had AKI. Out of 227 male COVID 19 patients, 48 (21.14%) had mild disease, 63 (27.75%) had moderate disease and 116 (51.10%) had severe COVID 19 disease. AKI was present in 6 (12.5%), 12 (19.04%) and 40 (34.48%) patients of mild, moderate and severe male COVID 19 disease patients respectively. Out of 83 female COVID 19 patients, 33 (39.75%) had mild disease, 12 (14.45%) had moderate disease and 38 (4578. %) had severe COVID 19 disease. AKI was present in 2 (6.06%), 12 (16.66%) and 40 (34.21%) patients of mild, moderate and severe female COVID 19 disease patients respectively.
