I had Covid in Nov/Dec of 2020, seemed healthy up until that time. Was admitted to the hospital in October 2023, Creatinine level was over 6...most of my blood tests were abnormal, blood pressure was elevated. Thinking back, it does seem there was a decline taking place after recovering from Covid, but it was gradual. More joint pain, headaches, itching, nausea. In follow-ups, January 2024, it was determined I had CKD Stage 3B/4 - borderline. I never did get a Covid vaccine, still don't plan to. At the time I contracted Covid, the vaccine was not available.

@gwladj76 welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’m so sorry to hear about your COVID and your hospitalization in 10/23. Who can say if they are/were related? I’ve always felt if one part of the body or system is ailing, the whole is affected. Whether to get a COVID vaccine or not is still a controversial issue. But it is a personal decision. The important thing is how are you feeling now? Are you getting treatment / support for your CKD Stage 3B/4?
