COVID-19 Takes a Greater Toll on Kidneys Than Pneumonia

Publication date: Dec 28, 2024

TOPLINE:COVID-19 survivors show a more pronounced decline in kidney function than those who recover from pneumonia caused by other infections. ; however, in the pneumonia cohort, a decline in eGFR was noted both before and after the infection. The follow-up period was not long enough to fully evaluate the long-term association of COVID-19 with kidney function. It was published online in JAMA Network Open. LIMITATIONS:This study lacked information on important confounders such as ethnicity and body mass index. Human editors reviewed this content before publication.
