    AbstractChronic 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.© 2020 Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology.
