NewsVaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-linked acute kidney injury less likely to need dialysis after discharge
Vaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who developed acute kidney injury had better outcomes than unvaccinated patients with the same condition, new research suggests. The study found vaccinated patients were less likely to stay on dialysis after discharge, and more likely to survive, than unvaccinated patients.
