Peripheral transcriptomic findings in acute and long-term kidney dysfunction after hospitalization for SARS-CoV2 infection are unclear. We evaluated peripheral blood molecular signatures in AKI from COVID-19 (COVID-AKI) and their association with long-term kidney dysfunction using the largest hospitalized cohort with transcriptomic data. Analysis of 283 hospitalized patients of whom 37% had AKI, highlighted the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction driven by endoplasmic reticulum stress in the acute stages. Subsequently, long-term kidney function decline exhibits significant associations with markers of cardiac structure and function and immune mediated dysregulation. There were similar biomolecular signatures in other inflammatory states, such as sepsis. This enhances the potential for repurposing and generalizability in therapeutic approaches.
