== Overview ==
[[COVID-19]] can involve many organs leading to [[organ failure]], one of which is [[kidneys]] that manifest with mild [[proteinuria]] to advanced [[acute kidney injury]] ([[AKI]]).
[[COVID-19]] infection can affect many organs and lead to [[organ failure]]. [[Kidneys]] are vital organs that can be affected by [[coronavirus]]. [[Acute kidney injury]] ([[AKI]]), a sudden deficit in [[kidney]] function, is a complication of [[COVID-19]] and associated with a higher risk of mortality. [[AKI]] is frequently seen in critically ill patients with pre-existing conditions. Identifying high-risk patients for [[AKI]] and regular monitoring of [[kidney]] function tests in these patients play a major role in preventing [[AKI]].


==Historical Perspective==
==Historical Perspective==
* Early reports from China revealed that [[COVID-19]] rarely involves the [[kidneys]], as [[acute renal failure]] was not seen among [[COVID-19]] hospitalized patients and mild [[BUN]] or [[creatinine]] rise [10.8%] and mild [[proteinuria]] [7.2%] occurred. <ref name="WangLi2020">{{cite journal|last1=Wang|first1=Luwen|last2=Li|first2=Xun|last3=Chen|first3=Hui|last4=Yan|first4=Shaonan|last5=Li|first5=Dong|last6=Li|first6=Yan|last7=Gong|first7=Zuojiong|title=Coronavirus Disease 19 Infection Does Not Result in Acute Kidney Injury: An Analysis of 116 Hospitalized Patients from Wuhan, China|journal=American Journal of Nephrology|volume=51|issue=5|year=2020|pages=343–348|issn=0250-8095|doi=10.1159/000507471}}</ref>

Synonyms and keywords: COVID-19-associated AKI

Overview

COVID-19 infection can affect many organs and lead to organ failure. Kidneys are vital organs that can be affected by coronavirus. Acute kidney injury (AKI), a sudden deficit in kidney function, is a complication of COVID-19 and associated with a higher risk of mortality. AKI is frequently seen in critically ill patients with pre-existing conditions. Identifying high-risk patients for AKI and regular monitoring of kidney function tests in these patients play a major role in preventing AKI.

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • The prevalence of AKI among patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in ICU is approximately 0.6-29% in China [11] and 22.2% in the USA.[12]
  • Approximately 43% of critically ill patients with COVID-19 developed AKI during the admission period. [4]
  • In a cohort study on 99 patients with severe COVID-19, AKI was reported in 42 patients (42.9%) and among them 32 (74.4%) patients had severe AKI (stage III based on KDIGO definition). [13]
  • The actual incidence of AKI in critcally ill patients with COVID-19 is uncertain but estimated between 27-85%. "Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19 Patients | COVID-19".
  • Differences of AKI prevalence among studies could be related to several factors, including:[13]
  • AKI commonly affects elderly. The incidence of AKI increases with age; the mean age at diagnosis is 57.1 years. [4]
  • There is no racial predilection to COVID-19 associated AKI.


Risk Factors

Screening

  • Serial monitoring of kidney function tests should be considered in high risk patients.[16]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • If no improvement occurs during follow-up, it is contributed to higher mortality.[3]

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

  • The diagnosis of AKI is based on the KDIGO criteria, which includes:[18]
    • Elevated serum Creatinine by ≥0.3 mg/dl (≥26.5 μmol/l) within 48 hours; or
    • Elevated serum Creatinine to ≥1.5 times baseline within the previous 7 days; or
    • Urine volume < 0.5 ml/kg/h for >6 hours

Symptoms

Physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

Electrocardiogram

X-ray

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

CT scan

  • There are no CT scan findings associated with AKI.

MRI

  • There are no MRI findings associated with AKI.

Other Imaging Findings

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • There are no other diagnostic studies associated with AKI.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Interventions

Surgery

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of COVID-19 associated AKI.

Primary Prevention

Secondary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the secondary prevention of AKI is using biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of AKI in early stages before it causes significant complications.[29][21]
