IL18 and COVID-19: In a prospective, observational, non-interventional, single-center study, we assessed various plasma and urinary biomarkers of kidney injury (neutrophil gelatinase-associated Lipocain [NGAL], kidney-injury molecule-1 [KIM-1], and interleukin-18 [IL-18]); inflammation (IL-6, C-reactive protein [CRP]); plus angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in 120 COVID-19 patients (of whom 70 had chronic kidney disease (CKD) at emergency-department (ED) admission).
