This study aimed to assess kidney function and its significance for the development of in-hospital complications in patients hospitalized with acute cardiovascular pathology infected with COVID-19. Methods. This prospective cohort single-center study included 139 patients with acute cardiovascular pathology diagnosed with COVID-19. Sixty-nine (49.6%) patients had acute coronary syndrome (47 with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 33 (23.7%) patients had hypertension, 24 (17.3%) patients had acute decompensated heart failure, 9 (6.5%) patients had tachysystolic paroxysms of atrial fibrillation, 2 (1.4%) patients had an acute pulmonary embolism, and 2 (1.4%) patients had syncope. The mean age was 67.9±12.7 years, and 70 (50.4%) patients were male. Arterial hypertension was present in 87.1% of patients, diabetes mellitus in 20.9%, congestive heart failure in 30.9%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 9.4%, AMI in 20.1%, and ischemic stroke in 9.4%. Results. The initial creatinine level was 110.7±66.1 μmol/l and eGFR (CKD-EPI) was 63.3±20.3 ml/min/1.73m2 (eGFR
