Abstract

This observational study delves into the intersection of COVID-19 and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the densely populated city of Mumbai, India. As CKD patients are considered a high-risk group for severe COVID-19 outcomes, understanding the unique challenges they face is critical. Through a comprehensive analysis of patient records, healthcare utilization patterns, and outcomes, this research explores the impact of COVID-19 on CKD patients in Mumbai. The study uncovers the vulnerabilities faced by this patient population, providing insights for healthcare interventions and policies tailored to protect and support CKD patients during pandemic scenarios.
