Wcn24-2156 Acute Kidney Injury and Mortality in Intensive Care Unit Patients With Covid-19 in a Brazilian University Hospital

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of hospitalized patients with the disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19). The impact of COVID-19 in Intensive Care Units (ICU) has been dramatic. We have recently disclosed in an exploratory study a 24.2% mortality rate in critically ill patients with AKI without COVID-19 in our ICU. Reports of the occurrence of AKI and AKI related mortality in patients with COVID-19 have been quite inconsistent. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of AKI in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and assess the association between AKI stage and patient mortality in our hospital.
