KIDCOV - Assessment of Kidney Injury in Non-Hospitalized in the COVID-19 Pandemic

This is a study about Kidney Function and the effects of COVID.

The project is led by an outstanding team of clinicians and researchers across five academic medical/research centers from the University of California system, Rush University, and the University of Michigan.

Program Overview

With the current situation regarding the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, there exists a cloud of “unknown” surrounding the effects this novel virus has on various body systems and the long-term effects that can linger. With the need to understand how COVID-19 both reacts and interacts with our bodies upon infection, The KIDCOV study specifically aims to learn about kidney injury and risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.

Through biospecimen collection, KIDCOV will study the burden and incidence of kidney damage amongst patients following COVID-19 infection. This study will obtain such information through processing urine samples to get an accurate reading via the urine Kidney Injury Test (KIT).
