Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is often compared to seasonal influenza and the two diseases share similarities including the risk of systemic manifestations such as acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and influenza. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (n=325) or seasonal influenza (n=433). AKI was defined by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Baseline characteristics and hospitalization data were collected, and multivariable analysis was performed to determine the independent predictors for AKI. Results: AKI occurred in 32.6% of COVID-19 hospitalizations (COV-AKI) and 33.0% of influenza hospitalizations (FLU-AKI). After adjusting for age, gender, and comorbidity count, the risk of stage 3 AKI was significantly higher in COV-AKI (OR: 3.46; 95% CI 1.63, 7.37). Preexisting CKD was associated with a 6- to 7-fold increased likelihood for FLU-AKI and COV-AKI. Mechanical ventilation was associated with a higher likelihood of developing AKI in the COVID-19 cohort (OR: 5.85; 95% CI 2.30, 15.63). African American race, after adjustment for comorbidities, was an independent risk for COV-AKI. Conclusion: Pre-existing CKD was a major risk factor for AKI in both cohorts. African American race (independent of comorbidities) and mechanical ventilation were associated with a higher risk of developing COV-AKI which is characterized by a higher burden of stage 3 AKI and overall poorer prognosis.

We report a case of severe hypercalcaemia secondary to rhabdomyolysis in a woman with COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) infection. The patient presented with myalgia and anuria with an acute kidney injury requiring haemodialysis. Creatine kinase peaked at 760 000 IU/L. A biphasic calcaemic response was observed with initial severe hypocalcaemia followed by severe, symptomatic hypercalcaemia, persistent despite haemodialysis. Control of the calcium levels was achieved by continuous haemofiltration.

Objectives: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is increasingly used due to its beneficial outcomes and results compared with conventional CPR. Data after eCPR for acute kidney injury (AKI) are lacking. We sought to investigate factors predicting AKI in patients who underwent eCPR. Methods: From January 2016 until December 2020, patients who underwent eCPR at our institution were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: patients who developed AKI ( n = 60) and patients who did not develop AKI ( n = 35) and analyzed for outcome parameters. Results: Overall, 63% of patients suffered AKI after eCPR and 45% of patients who developed AKI needed subsequent dialysis. Patients who developed AKI showed higher values of creatinine (1.1 mg/dL vs 1.5 mg/dL, p ⩽ 0.01), urea (34 mg/dL vs 42 mg/dL, p = 0.04), CK (creatine kinase) (923 U/L vs 1707 U/L, p = 0.07) on admission, and CK after 24 hours of ECMO support (1705 U/L vs 4430 U/L, p = 0.01). ECMO explantation was significantly more often performed in patients who suffered AKI (24% vs 48%, p = 0.01). In-hospital mortality (86% vs 70%; p = 0.07) did not differ significantly. Conclusion: Patients after eCPR are at high risk for AKI, comparable to those after conventional CPR. Baseline urea levels predict the development of AKI during the hospital stay.

The patient is a 75-year-old man who presented with right arm pain, edema, and erythema. The same manifestations appeared in the other arm 3 weeks later. He also developed fever, acute kidney injury, anemia, and truncal edema. Initial extensive evaluation was unrevealing. He was noted to have elevated creatine kinase, and a diagnostic muscle biopsy lead to diagnosis of inflammatory myositis. He improved with corticosteroids.
