estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Kidneys filter blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine. The kidney's filtration rate, called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), shows how well the kidneys are filtering. A normal GFR is 60 or higher.
Time frame: yearly for 4 years after COVID exposure
Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR)
Albuminuria is present when UACR is greater than 30 mg/g and is a marker for chronic kidney disease. Albuminuria is used to diagnose and monitor kidney disease.
Time frame: yearly for 4 years after COVID exposure
Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR)
Urine protein/creatinine ratio - Protein creatinine ratio in the urine quantifies the loss of the protein and helps in further evaluation of the kidney function. Normal ratio: \< 0.20
Time frame: yearly for 4 years after COVID exposure
