Results: After excluding obstructive AKI, total 180 (mean age 50.1 years) 104 males 76 females research. 120 found prerenal, 60 had intrinsic significant differences between mild, moderate, severe cases (p=0.004). injury survivors complete rate 70%, partial 22%, hemodialysis dependency 8%. Conclusion: COVID-19 infection often develop more those critical stages exhibit proteinuria dipstick hematuria. Long-term follow-up for should be done evaluate its influence on outcome, larger samples are required elucidate association damage.
