more than 5 Lakh people in India. Globally, nations have
experienced economic downturns and loss of countless lives. Post
Covid, Hiranandani Hospital has witnessed how the disease has
caused complications to the health of the kidney resulting in acute
kidney injury in the lives of post Covid19 patients. It is estimated
that in the long run, patients might face some respiratory issues.

3. Risk and Threat to Kidney Post covid 19
Dr. LH Hiranandani Hospital, Powai has served more than
1,00,000 happy patients, has completed 50,000+ surgeries,
has 1000+ professionals, and 240+ beds. It is serving patients
facing risks and threats to kidneys post-COVID-19 as the
disease tells you about the health of your body. Well, to know
if you need help or want to live healthy it’s important to take
this threat seriously in the first place.
There is a 100% chance that you can heal quickly once you
start following a healthy lifestyle. The article has stated some
of the Risks and Threats to Kidneys post-COVID-19 patients.
Here is the list:
1. Acute Kidney Injury: Very severe cases lead a patient to this
disease(AKI), where there is a sudden loss in proper
functioning of a disease. This might result from direct viral
invasion or the body’s inflammatory response.
2. Chronic Kidney Disease: Post Covid19 patients, who have
any history of kidney conditions in the past are at a higher risk.
Statistics show there is a strong connection between Chronic
Kidney Disease and COVID-19.

4. 3. Systemic Inflammation: COVID-19 has triggered a systemic inflammatory response that impacts
various organs including kidneys. Prolonged inflammation may contribute to kidney damage.
4. Blood clotting: COVID-19 is highly associated with increased risk of blood clotting. Kidneys are highly
vascular organs and blood clots can disrupt normal blood flow, potentially leading to kidney issues.

5. 5. Dehydration: Fever, sweating and respiratory distress during covid 19 can contribute to
dehydration, which is a risk factor for kidney problems. You can take care of yourself by changing
small habits in your life.
6. Medication-Induced Kidney Injury: Some medications that are used in the treatment of COVID-19 or
its complications have a nephrotoxic effect, potentially impacting kidney function.
7. Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC): Individuals with lingering symptoms after
recovering from acute COVID-19 may experience ongoing kidney-related issues as part of the broader
spectrum of post-acute sequelae.
8. Impact of Comorbidities: Patients with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and hypertension,
are common risk factors for both severe COVID-19 and kidney disease, that might face heightened
risks.
At the Department of Kidney transplant, Hiranandani Hospital, Powai patients are given early
detection and management so that they can maintain good kidney health. It’s important to consult
healthcare professionals for personalized advice and monitoring. The threats and risks describe the
possibility of bad health of the immune system.

6. When Does a Patient
Require Kidney
Transplant?
The patient should participate in the Hiranandani Hospital Kidney
Transplant Program, launched by the Department of Kidney
transplant, if he/she has faced kidney complications post-COVID-
19. Every case is different; it is not recommended to get a kidney
transplant for every kidney-related issue.
Whereas, it majorly depends on the amount of damage COVID-19
has caused. In some cases, COVID-19 has led individuals to acute
kidney injury (AKI) which can be healed with appropriate medical
treatment. In other cases, if a patient undergoes damage which
later turns to chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is the condition that
damages your kidney and decreases its ability to keep you healthy
by filtering the waste from your blood.
When the patient reaches the end stage of renal disease (GFR less
than 10 ml/min). Patients are advised to undergo medical
evaluation and follow an appropriate course of action be it
medication dialysis or kidney transplant. You should book a
healthcare professional at Hiranandani Hospital Powai, Mumbai for
your checkup today.

8. How COVID-19 can affect the kidneys is a matter which researchers are yet to look into. Researchers
like Sujit Chatterjee Hiranandani are spending their time and energy to find out the impacts of
COVID-19 in the long run. The healthcare system has launched a post-COVID care regime, which
includes regular kidney function assessments among the patients to safeguard their lives,
prioritizing those who had AKI or were affected by CKI. This states the importance of sustained
medical attention and public initiative to address and manage potential kidney-related
complications.
