Early Changes in Renal Function as Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality in COVID-19 Patients
Early renal function change patterns within the first 24-48 h of hospitalization carry prognostic value beyond static creatinine measures. Apparent early creatinine improvement may reflect recovery from prior injury or systemic instability rather than true renal recovery, identifying a subgroup at heightened risk. Classification based on early renal function assessment may enhance early risk stratification in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
