AKI was present in three out of ten COVID-19 patients. The most significant factors associated with AKI were dyspnea, SOFA ≥ 5, AST/ALT and N/L ratio, mechanical ventilation and Amikacin. AKI has been associated with an almost threefold increase in overall mortality and seven out of ten survivors did not recover kidney function after AKI.
