Abstract
Objective. Identification of gender differences in the kidney function in patients with COVID-19.
Material and methods. The study included 504 patients who were treated for the diagnosis of «Novel coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus». Patients were divided into two groups by gender: group A – 311 women, the mean age was 63.1±15.3 years, body mass index (BMI) – 28.8±6.1 kg/m2; group B – 193 men, the mean age was 58.3±15.9 years, BMI – 27.8±5.8 kg/m2. Blood serum creatinine levels were determined, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated.
Results. On admission, 68.8% of women and 53.8% of men had signs of renal dysfunction, since the GFR was reduced; by the 7th day, renal function had not returned to normal in 33.6% of women and 43.1% of men, since the GFR remained reduced.
Conclusion. The course of COVID-19 has gender differences, which must be taken into account in clinical practice.
