Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known complication of COVID-19 and associated with an increased risk in-hospital mortality. Unbiased proteomics using biological specimens can lead to improved stratification discover pathophysiological mechanisms. Using measurements ∼4000 plasma proteins in two cohorts patients hospitalized COVID-19, we discovered validated markers COVID-associated AKI (stage 2 or 3) long-term dysfunction. In the discovery cohort (N= 437), identified 413 higher...
Research in dermatology education highlights the lack of skin color (SOC) instruction for medical students, leading to concerning healthcare outcomes.
