Dialysis patients with COVID-19, comparing to the CKD cases not requiring RRT, suffered from even severe kidney abnormalities, anemia, and infection, and showed abnormally increased creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) on admission (Table 2) . This two-center retrospective study identified that CKD not requiring RRT is an independent risk factor for in-hospital death and poor prognosis of patients with COVID-19 (Table 3) , which is consistent to previous meta-analyses revealing the association of CKD and severe COVID-19 illness. Although patients with CKD not requiring RRT, compared to patients without CKD, had similar proportions of moderate cases on admission, they showed significantly higher incidence of in-hospital death and poor prognosis (Table 1 ). In conclusion, CKD not requiring RRT as an independent risk factor for in-hospital death and https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/qjm 15 poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients.	./cache/cord-311129-5p9mf37g.txt	./txt/cord-311129-5p9mf37g.txt
