Longitudinal assessment of glomerular and tubular kidney function after COVID-19: a prospective cohort study

Paper C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed people after COVID-19 and repeatedly measured two parts of kidney work: the filtering rate (eGFR) and how well the tubes that reabsorb fluid are doing. It found signs of lingering damage in the tubes in some people even when the filtering rate looked normal. Because the study just watched people over time, it shows a link and not proof that COVID caused the damage.
