Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a recognized public health problem and key determinant of poor health outcomes. In Mexico, this condition has been associated with high and significant risk of death in COVID-19 patients; however, not enough attention has been given to the vulnerable population as the increasing numbers and fatality rates suggest. This study evaluated the effect of interaction between CKD condition and other risk factors (sex, diabetes, hypertension and obesity) on the survival rate of positive patients for COVID-19 in Mexico. The results from this study support that CKD patients is a population at high risk for mortality for COVID-19 and that COVID-19 positive inpatients with CKD and diabetes are highly vulnerable to death.
慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一个公认的公共卫生问题，也是健康状况不佳的关键决定因素。在墨西哥，这种情况与 COVID-19 患者的高死亡率和显著风险相关；然而，由于不断增加的病例数和死亡率表明，弱势群体并没有得到足够的关注。本研究评估了 CKD 状况与其他危险因素（性别、糖尿病、高血压和肥胖）之间的相互作用对墨西哥 COVID-19 阳性患者生存率的影响。本研究结果表明，CKD 患者是 COVID-19 高死亡率人群，并且 CKD 和糖尿病合并 COVID-19 的住院患者极易死亡。
