THE EFFECT OF COVID-19 INFECTION ON THE INCIDENCE OF THE RENAL ABNORMALITY FOR THE PATIENT ADMITTED IN TO THE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE UNITE AT AL-HAKEEM HOSPITAL

Abstract

The aim: To predict the effect of COVID-19 virus on the incidence of the renal damage. Materials and methods: A case-control study was designed and one hundred and twenty individual had been included, 60 were healthy volunteer without COVID disease and another 60 suffer from viral infection particularly COVID-19 (there diagnosis was based on the PCR results: the real time type of the PCR) and shows a clinical manifestation of renal abnormality. Both of the healthy and COVID individuals were further divided to males and females in order to predict the effect of the gender that might be related to correlation of renal with a COVID disease. Data and the result obtained from the blood sample was analyzed for measurement of the uric acid, urea, creatinine at Jabr Ibn Hayyan Medical University, Faculty of Medicine and the results obtained was statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 20. Results: data showed that about half of the result obtained showed the renal damage and the other is unrelated to the viral infection. Male are more exposed to the renal abnormalities caused by the viral infection than the females, no correlation were seen between the difference of the gender in relation to the viral infection and so in relation to the renal damage. Conclusions: COVID-19 is one of the main prognostic factor that could induce an irreversible renal damage. This damage might be varied between acute to a chronic result that might ends with renal failure and death of the patient.
