COVID-19 infection and the progression of kidney disease in British Columbia, Canada
In patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD who survived at least 90 days without requiring dialysis, COVID-19 was not associated with an increased long-term risk of kidney failure over 3 years but was associated with a greater annual decline in eGFR. Future research with longer follow-up is required to examine if this difference persists and leads to increased risk for kidney failure.
