Our goal in this study to evaluate the effect of covid-19 on kidney function. A frequent monitoring of kidney functions in patients with COVID-19 can lead to early diagnosis of kidney disorders, and help in achieving the optimal therapeutic concentrations of drugs and reducing the risk of drug reactions. Methods: the study was carried among the consecutive 82 COVID-19 patients. These patients were symptomatic and diagnosed to be positive for corona virus. The data was extracted from the patient medical record files. Those patients were followed after discharge from hospital to repeat their investigations after three weeks Results: Of the 82 patients, 68 patients (82.9%) had high leukocytes, 18 (21.9%) patients had hematuria, 34 (41.4%) had proteinuria and 10 patients (12.1%) had serum creatinine levels of more than 1.3 mg/dl. The follow-up three weeks after discharged Investigations revealed that 12 (14.6%) patients had moderately high leukocytosis, 6 (7.3%) patients with hematuria and 8 (9.1%) patients with proteinuria and one patient with high creatinine (2.4%).
