(NAPSI)—According to a recent Harris Poll, too many people don’t know all they should about the dangers of coronavirus—particu- larly how it can aff ect the kidneys. COVID-19, it seems, attacks more than just the lungs. In the new National Kidney Foundation-Harris Poll Survey on COVID-19 and Kidney Health, the fi ndings show low levels of aware- ness on both the risk of developing an acute kidney injury as a result of COVID-19 and of the long-term eff ects of kidney damage. “A signifi cant number of patients going into the hospital to be treat- ed for COVID-19 are coming out as kidney patients,” said Kevin Longino, CEO, National Kidney Foundation and a kidney trans- plant patient himself. “We believe this may be a looming healthcare crisis that will put a greater strain on hospitals, dialysis clinics and patients, for whom chronic kidney disease will be a lasting remnant of the coronavirus crisis—even aft er a vaccine is, hopefully, found.” Acute kidney injury Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days, and is happening in about 15 per- cent of all hospitalized coronavirus patients, many of whom now need dialysis. If a patient ends up in the in- tensive care unit (ICU) their odds worsen; reports indicate that one in fi ve intensive-care patients have lost kidney function. COVID-19 will likely result in a higher num- ber of Americans with chronic kid- ney disease and/or kidney failure than before the pandemic. Once kidneys fail, dialysis or a transplant is needed to survive. Hospital shortages Hospitals aren’t prepared for the expected increase of kidney patients. In hot spots of the out- break there are shortages of dialy- sis equipment, supplies and nurses properly trained to administer di- alysis in the ICU. Most Americans, according to the Harris Poll, are concerned and want the federal government to step in. Further, the Harris Poll found that the vast majority of Americans want the federal government to provide more resources toward di- agnosis, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease, and signifi cantly increased funding for kidney re- search because of kidney-related illness from COVID-19. More poll results Th e poll also found: •Only 17 percent Americans are aware of acute kidney injury as a result of COVID-19; •Only 46 percent of Americans are aware that COVID-19 will like- ly increase the number of Ameri- cans with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure; •58 percent of Americans are aware that COVID-19 can cause acute respiratory failure; •54 percent know it can cause pneumonia; •52 percent of those surveyed know COVID-19 can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome.
