"But the coronavirus has since proved it's not a simple respiratory illness. It can affect the lungs , the brain , the blood and, critically for patients on ventilators, the kidneys .
Unlike lungs, kidneys prefer to be hydrated. The longer patients are kept dehydrated, their chances of kidney failure increase. Denson said he's changed his treatments for COVID-19 patients to give additional hydration if they're showing damage to the kidneys.
"I'm targeting the kidneys a little bit more, " he said. "I'm less aggressive up front getting people dry, and I'm more willing to use fluids if needed."
It's a balancing act that requires extreme attention on the part of ICU doctors and their staff. Too much hydration hurts the lungs. Too little hurts the kidneys. "It's a constant battle, " Denson said."
