Frequency and clinical characteristics of kidney involvement in children with suspected COVID-19 infection: a single-center cross-sectional study
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This single-center cross-sectional study found that 18.3% of hospitalized children with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 developed acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI was associated with more severe disease, gastrointestinal symptoms, and lab abnormalities like low platelets, high CRP, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia.

Explicación de la calificación
This study provides valuable descriptive data on AKI in hospitalized children with suspected COVID-19. However, the cross-sectional design, lack of baseline data, and short follow-up limit the ability to draw strong conclusions about causality or prognosis. The single-center nature also restricts generalizability. Overall, it's an average study with important limitations.
