IntroductionChronic kidney disease (CKD) in Covid 19 is relevant, however, there are few descriptions and fewer in Peru. Our goal was to describe the epidemiological profile and the factors related to mortality and survival of patients with stage 5 (CKD) on chronic dialysis hospitalized for Covid-19 in a public hospital. MethodsRetrospective case series. Patients with stage 5 CKD, older than 18 years, hospitalized for Covid-19 infection were included. The primary data source was medical records. The clinical and epidemiological profile of the study sample and the factors related to mortality and survival are described. Results105 medical records of patients with CKD 5 were evaluated. 57 (54,29%) were male, with a mean age of 58,59 {+/-} 14,3 years. 84 (80%) patients survived and 21 (20%) died. The main cause of admission to hospitalization was respiratory failure in (80) 76,2%. The hospital stay was 11,76 {+/-} 7,8 days. In the bivariate analysis: the increase in leukocytes, D dimer, ferritin, CRP, LDH and the decrease in lymphocytes, pH, bicarbonate and PaO2/FiO2 were related to mortality. In the multivariate analysis, only CRP> 10 mg/dl [HR: 10.72 (95% CI 1,4-81,58)] and a PaO2/FiO2 [≤] 150 mmHg [HR: 44,40 (95% CI 5,86-336,06)] they were factors related to poor survival. ConclusionsCRP levels> 10mg/dl and PaO2/FiO2 [≤] 150 mmHg are the main factors related to mortality and poor survival in patients with stage 5 CKD hospitalized for Covid-19.
