Hypophosphatemia is an independent risk factor for AKI among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study sought to investigate incidence and risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized COVID-19.

Methods

In this retrospective study, we enrolled 823 COVID-19 patients with at least two evaluations of renal function during hospitalization from four hospitals in Wuhan, China between February 2020 and April 2020. Clinical and laboratory parameters at the time of admission and follow-up data were recorded. Systemic renal tubular dysfunction was evaluated via 24-h urine collections in a subgroup of 55 patients.

Results

In total, 823 patients were enrolled (50.5% male) with a mean age of 60.9 ± 14.9 years. AKI occurred in 38 (40.9%) ICU cases but only 6 (0.8%) non-ICU cases. Using forward stepwise Cox regression analysis, we found eight
