Abstract

Background: Covid-19 sequeale have been a cause of serious health concerns since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Studies regarding this are still lacking especially in relation to the prevalence of Covid-19 induced AKI. Therefore, we have aimed to determine the prevalence of AKI amongst Covid-19 hospitalised patients in Ribat isolation centre.

Methodology: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted in the period from March 2020 to July 2021 in Ribat teaching hospital primary isolation centre which includes admitted Covid-19 induced AKI patients. A total of 333 confirmed Covid-19 patients were tested out of which we analyzed 183 files that fit the criteria of our research. The data was collected from the patients' record files using a checklist.

Results: A total of 77 out of 183 patients (42%) of admitted patients were diagnosed with AKI, out of which 35 patients had stage 3 AKI (46%), followed by 28 (36%) and 14 (18%) regarding stage 1 and stage 2 respectively. Furthermore, 57 out of the total 77 (74%) aged 60 years and above.

Conclusion: This study substantiates the theory that Covid-19 induces AKI regardless of its severity and the presence of co-morbidities. Additionally, older age (60 years and above) was the most important risk factor associated with it. Furthermore, most cases of Covid-19 induced AKI were stage 3.

Keywords: AKI; Covid-19.
