COVID-19 Can Cause Kidney Injury, Yet Most
Americans Don’t Know It
Business
& Service
Directory
D-002
Most Americans don’t know it, but the coronavirus can hurt patients’ kidneys as well as
their lungs.
(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.
