New York City CoVid Patients Suffer Kidney Disease Equal To Lung Malfunction
from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/93kifz07DxM Of the first 1000 New Yorkers hospitalized for CoVid19, about one-third suffered serious kidney injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Clinicians at Columbia University and the New York/Presbyterian Medical Center just published details on the largest American CoVid case series to date. Focusing on the 24% of patients requiring ICU critical care, 90% had acute respiratory distress syndrome, 78% had kidney disease, 35% required dialysis, and 44% died. The bottom line: CoVid19 triggers a nasty disease that suffocates, damages all your vital organs, creates body-wide clotting, and hangs on and on. You CAN avoid it with DMW: distancing, masks, and washing. https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1996 #covid #nyc #kidneyfailure #dialysis
