Acute kidney injury in COVID-19: multicentre prospective analysis of registry data.

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and important complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Further characterization is required to reduce both short- and long-term adverse outcomes.

Methods

Results

Among 1855 admissions,
