Activity of dexamethasone in dialysis patients suffering from Covid 19
COVID-19 has been shown to have an impact on the kidneys. Some individuals with COVID-19 have developed acute kidney injury (AKI), which is a sudden loss of kidney function. This may occur in severe cases of the illness, particularly in individuals who are hospitalized and require intensive care. Additionally, COVID-19 can lead to blood clots that can block blood flow to the kidneys, leading to AKI. In some cases, the AKI caused by COVID-19 can be severe and require dialysis. It is important for individuals with COVID-19 to receive prompt medical attention to monitor and treat any potential kidney complications.
