ABSTRACT
Aim:
This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, survival outcome, and its correlation with biochemical parameters in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-infected patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Materials andMethods:
A prospective observational study was on hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection from September 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. Data related to demographics, baseline history of comorbid conditions, dialysis-specific data, details on hospital admissions, COVID-19 treatment regimen, laboratory investigations, computed tomography (CT) severity score, COVID-19 Reporting and Data System score, and clinical outcomes (improved/death), duration of hospital stay, oxygen/vasopressor support were collected.Results:
A total of 216 ESKD patients with COVID-19 infection were included in this study. The median age was 48.0 years (74.5% men, 25.5% women). Severe acute respiratory infection (44.7%), hypertension (28.2%), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (22.4%) were the most common comorbidities. Elevated levels of serum creatinine (9.3 mg/dL) and blood urea nitrogen (84.8 mg/dL) were observed in the patients with COVID-19 infection. The change in mean levels of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to post-treatment was significant (0.9 [95% CI 0.7, 1.1;P < 0.001] and 3.4 [95% CI 3.2, 3.6;P < 0.001], respectively). Approximately, 79.6% (n = 172) of patients improved post-treatment. Serum creatinine (1.786, 95% CI 1.031, 3.095;0.039) and ferritin levels (51.959, 95% CI 7.901, 341.685;P < 0.001) remained significantly and independently associated with survival. The median time to clinical survival was 17.0 days.Conclusion:
Serum creatinine and ferritin levels were independently associated with survival.
