At Mount Sinai, 46% of patients that were admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic had some form of acute kidney injury, a study finds.
Approximately 10% to 50% of patients with severe Covid-19 that go into intensive care have kidney failure that requires some form of dialysis, the American Society of Nephrology Covid-19 Response Team reports.
Toure, a 54-year-old project coordinator for the CUNY Research Foundation in New York, was sick 12 days before she went to the hospital. By then she lost her sense of taste and smell, and nausea and vomiting had kicked in. She had called the city's 311 emergency phone number for advice, but they told her to stay home and ride it out. On the twelfth day, she was feeling extremely ill, so she called an Uber to drive her to Mount Sinai Hospital.
Toure's tale demonstrates a harsh reality. Severe coronavirus patients are often as much in need of dialysis machines as they are ventilators. Many of the ones who recover from Covid-19 have some form of residual kidney damage that can last for months, years or even permanently. The study, conducted Feb. 24–May 30, tracked a population of nearly 4,000 patients with a median age of 64. Mount Sinai used an AI tool it co-developed in collaboration with RenalytixAI, called KidneyIntelX, that rates a person's chances of getting kidney disease.
The next epidemic will be chronic kidney disease in the U.S. among those who recovered from the coronavirus.associate professor of nephrology at Mount Sinai Health System and co-founder of RenalytixAI "The goal is to assess the risk of kidney disease and kidney failure," says Tom McLain, president and chief commercial officer of RenalytixAI.
