Using genetics to understand the role of kidney function in COVID-19: a mendelian randomization study
Abstract Background Kidney dysfunction occurs in severe COVID-19, and is a predictor of COVID-19 mortality. Whether kidney dysfunction causes severe COVID-19, and hence is a target of intervention, or whether it is a symptom, is unclear because conventional observational studies are open to confound...
