Background: The unique role of eosinophil in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients has been shown in several studies, but its role in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients who contracted COVID-19 is less reported. This study investigated eosinopenia's predictive value as a mortality marker in ESKD patients with COVID-19.
Methods: It is a retrospective study of ESKD patients who contracted COVID-19 between May 2020 and October 2021 in West Nusa Tenggara General Hospital, Indonesia. Comparative analysis was carried out between the death dan survival group. Logistic regression analysis was done to investigate the role of eosinopenia on the outcome after controlling other significant variables.
Results: The analyses included one hundred fifteen confirmed COVID-19 in ESKD patients. The average age was 50, 53% of patients were males, 41% were newly diagnosed with ESKD, and the mortality rate was 25.2%. This study's prevalence of eosinopenia, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and high C-reactive protein (CRP) in the nonsurvivors was 51.4%, 39.3%, and 30.8%, respectively. Diastolic blood pressure <90 mmHg (P=0.004), respiratory rate >22 x/minutes (P=0.011), oxygen saturation <93% (P=0.008), NLR >6 (p<0.001), eosinophil count <0.01 x103/uL (p<0.001), CRP >20 mg/L (P=0.047), and isolation hemodialysis (HD) therapy (p<0.001) were independently associated with mortality of COVID-19 in ESKD patients. However, on multivariate logistic regression analysis, eosinopenia (P=0.019) and HD (P=0.001) were risk factors that remained significant prognostic mortality factors.
Conclusion: Eosinopenia was common in ESKD patients with COVID-19, particularly in the death group. Eosinopenia at admission and HD during hospitalization were risk factors for COVID-19 mortality in ESKD patients.
