The relation between proteinuria and the severity of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between proteinuria, which is also an indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity is unclear.

Methods

We selected 342 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 diagnosed via polymerase chain reaction testing between February 2020 and October 2022 and who had at least one urinalysis 14-365 days before admission.

Results

Proteinuria before admission was associated neither with oxygen administration nor developing pneumonia in multivariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] 1.03; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-2.40, p = 0.95 and OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.47-2.17, p = 0.98, respectively). Proteinuria on admission was associated both with oxygen administration and developing pneumonia in multivariate analysis (OR 3.29;
