In the multivariable logistic model bio-ADM and IL-6 presented as independent significant predictors regarding both endpoints AKI and the composite endpoint in COVID-19 patients (as well as creatinine regarding the composite endpoint; each p < 0.05), opposite to leukocytes, C-reactive protein (CRP) and dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3; each p = n.s). Here, CRP is linked to COVID-19.
