This retrospective study was conducted at the Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. It aimed to determine acute kidney injury (AKI) frequency and associated factors in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

The study highlights age, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and nephrotoxic agent presence as significant factors influencing AKI development in COVID-19 patients. Key Words: Critical care unit, COVID-19, Acute kidney failure.
