COVID-19 can cause various complications, among which acute kidney injury (AKI) holds a significant place. Arterial hypertension (AH) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are identified as major risk factors for severe disease progression. The study aims to evaluate the impact of AH and DM on AKI development and mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Data from 436 patients were analyzed. Results show an increased risk of AKI and mortality associated with AH and DM. The data emphasize the need for intensive monitoring and preventive measures in these patients.
