UCLA study: COVID-19 vaccinations may lessen severe kidney damage
- A study found that COVID-19 vaccinated patients with acute kidney injury were less likely to need dialysis after hospital discharge, and had lower mortality rates than unvaccinated patients.
- The researchers analyzed about 3,500 COVID-19 hospitalized patients, with 972 developing acute kidney injury, and compared outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups.
- The findings suggest COVID-19 vaccination can reduce long-term kidney function decline and mortality risk in patients with acute kidney injury, emphasizing the need for further research on kidney complications from COVID-19.
