Note. Conversion factors for units: serum creatinine in mg/dL to μmol/L × 88.4. Laboratory findings of KTRs with SARS-CoV-2 infection are detailed in this table. n values along with median, and ranges of each parameter are tabulated for the entire group. Median and ranges are calculated for the subgroups of KTRs exhibiting either normal or abnormal values for each of the parameter as shown in the table.
