Effect of Colchicine Use and Usual Care Alone on the Rate of Progression to Chronic Kidney Disease and Mortality in Patients with Heat-Related Injury
Colchicine use following HRI was associated with favorable long-term renal outcomes, including reduced risks of CKD progression and dialysis. Although causal inference cannot be established due to the observational design, these findings suggest a potential renoprotective association of colchicine in patients with HRI.
