The study also highlights the importance of monitoring procalcitonin and ferritin levels in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome. These factors are strongly associated with acute kidney injury in this patient group.

Good news: The study found that acute kidney injury recovery rates are promising, with 63.6% in COVID-19 survivors and 100% in multisystem inflammatory syndrome patients. However, long-term follow-up for kidney functions is advised.
