Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major and growing global public health problem, contributing to significant morbidity, mortality, and financial strain on healthcare systems. Despite available preventive measures, CKD often remains underdiagnosed and insufficiently addressed by health policies worldwide.
Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining musculoskeletal health. As the glomerular filtration rate decreases, vitamin D deficiency also occurs. The aim of this paper is to highlight the level of vitamin D depending on the stage of chronic kidney disease.
COVID-19, initially seen as a respiratory infection with mortality linked to respiratory failure, is now recognized as a multisystem disease, with acute kidney injury (AKI) evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD); this study investigates AKI types and their prognostic value in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
