Abstract:
Objective:This study sought to define the profile and outcome of Covid-19 in adult patients with renal insufficiency
admitted to the Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital (BRTTH) from March 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021.
Methods:Retrospective cross-sectional study and utilized descriptive statistics.
Results:A total of 49 patients who tested positive for Covid- 19 also had renal insufficiency. The included patients were aged 51 to 60 (26.5%) and 61 to 70 (26.5%) years old, almost equal in sex distribution. Majority were unemployed (81.6%). On clinical profile most have no history of smoking (85.7%), alcohol intake (81.6%), and drug illicit use (100%). Predominantly the eGFR level was less than 15 mL/min (89.8%), with diabetes mellitus (36.7%) as the leading cause of renal insufficiency, followed by hypertension (61.2%). Majority received hemodialysis (81.6%) and advised for the continuation of hemodialysis (51%) upon discharge. Their length of stay was from 0-5 days (30.6%) with most being admitted to the intensive care unit (55.1%). Most were eventually discharged (63.3%).
Conclusion:Patients admitted in this hospital who had Covid-19 and renal insufficiency were between 51-70 years old, almost equally divided between males and females, and unemployed. Majority denied smoking, alcohol intake, and drug illicit use. The average eGFR was less than 15 mL/min, had diabetes mellitus and hypertension as a co-morbidity. The treatment received upon admission consisted mostly of hemodialysis only. Their length of hospital stay was 0-5 days with most being admitted to the ICU. Majority of the patients were eventually discharged. - Full text:3 2023-228 OK.pdf
