Aim: This retrospective cohort study is aimed to analyze the associations between proteinuria and hematuria with in-hospital death in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).

 Introduction: Acute kidney injury among hospitalized COVID-19 patients is associated with poor outcomes and in-hospital deaths. Renal complication in COVID-19 including hematuria, proteinuria and AKI were associated with higher mortality. Data regarding the association of proteinuria and hematuria with mortality in COVID-19 patients are limited in Indonesia.

 Methods: We identified 39 adult COVID-19 patients confirmed by polymerase chain analysis with AKI between March 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 at Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We used fisher’s exact test for bivariate analyses.

 Results: Thirty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. We found that 21 of the 39 patients (52.63%) had death in hospitalization. Of 21 patients had death, 17 patients (80.95%) had proteinuria and hematuria, 1 patient (4.8%) had proteinuria, 2 patients (9.5%) had hematuria and 1 patient (4.8%) had normal urinalysis. The result showed that hematuria alone and combination of hematuria and proteinuria were significantly associated with in-hospital death (RR 3.73, 95% CI 1.04-13.41, p 0.005; RR 2.66, 95% CI 1.10-6.39, p 0.007, respectively). However, proteinuria alone was not significantly associated with in-hospital death (RR 1.80, 95% CI 0.68–4.74, p 0.153).

 Conclusion: Both hematuria and combination of hematuria and proteinuria at the time of hospital admission are associated with mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with AKI.
