Post COVID-19 condition imposes significant burden in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: a nested case-control study
Although the World Health Organization (WHO) ended the global emergency status for COVID-19 on May 5th 2023, reports on long-lasting symptoms after COVID-19 have been emerging. Over 200 long-lasting symptoms affecting various organ systems have been documented in more than 65 million individuals worldwide [1]. These symptoms are referred to as ‘’long-COVID’’, ‘’post COVID-19 condition’’ (PCC) and ‘’post-acute sequalae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)’’. In a recent observational matched cohort study conducted on the general population, the prevalence of PCC was estimated to be 21% amo ng individuals with prior COVID-19 [2].
