Estimated glomerular filtration rate in post COVID-19 patients at 3-6 months and 12-18 months after infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some degree of renal impairment is common during acute COVID-19 infection. However, it remains unclear whether this impairment is temporary or persists long term. In this study we compare kidney function (via estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) during infection, 3-6 months and 12-18 months after infection; the relationship between patient characteristics and eGFR in post COVID-19 patients; and the difference in eGFR between post COVID-19 patients and controls.

Methods

In total, 95 post COVID-19 patients and 94 controls were included. Post COVID-19 patients were seen 3-6 months and 12-18 months after infection for biological sample collection and questionnaire administration, with results for biological samples during acute infection sourced from me
