BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is a new pandemic that has infected millions of people worldwide and caused a high morbidity and mortality rate. COVID-19 may have a harmful effect on organs, especially the kidneys. Aims: The main aim of our research is to study the association between the severity of COVID-19 disease and biochemical parameters related to kidney function and to investigate certain risk factors of COVID-19-associated kidney disease.
METHODS: A total of 174 individuals, 121 COVID-19 positive and 53 COVID-19 negative, were enrolled in this study. The relation between COVID-19 infection, severity, kidney function test, and hematological indicators were examined.
RESULTS: The most prominent symptoms among COVID-19 were fever (95% ) and fatigue (92%). Regarding biochemical parameters, median creatinine, MPV, and CRP were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients, whereas median eGFR, Na+, WBC, MCH, MCHC, and eosinophil percentages were significantly lower in this group. Severely infected patients were observed to have higher urea, creatinine, neutrophils, and NLR. However, median sodium, eGFR, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC, lymphocytes, and platelet count were significantly lower in the severe group. Urine examination of the severe group showed a significantly lower specific gravity, while urine pH, protein, and glucose were significantly higher.
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis indicates that COVID-19 infection affects kidney function, mainly creatinine level, urea, eGFR, Na+ and urine protein. Additionally, comorbidities such as older age (>65), hypertension, taking medications, and CRP (>33.55 mg/L) are considered risk factors that are more likely to contribute to kidney impairment in COVID-19 positive patients.
