Associated Factors and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19 Patients in Kenya

Abstract

This study was conducted at a single private tertiary-level health care facility in Kenya and only up to the time of hospital discharge. It is one of the first large studies from sub-Saharan Africa looking at the associated factors and outcomes of AKI in COVID-19 and forms a foundation for further analysis on the long-term consequences of COVID-19 on the kidneys. A major limitation of the study is the lack of baseline pre-admission creatinine values for most patients; thus, the impact of chronic kidney disease/baseline creatinine values on the incidence of AKI could not be established.
