Many governments and health authorities around the world are even trying to downplay the seriousness of Long COVID and even in some instances deny it exists!
Interestingly in Singapore, a country that has the one of the highest vaccination and booster rates in the world, has been witnessing an exponential rise in chronic kidney disease and kidney failures in recent months.
According to a latest media coverage by Channel New Asia, Singapore is seeing at least 6 new cases of renal failure per day that requires dialysis!
The number of individuals with being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease that has yet to require dialysis is also increasing exponentially in the country.
A similar situation is also being witnessed in Thailand although mainstream media, doctors and health authorities are refusing to admit the situation.
P.S.一般人捐一個腎出去都唔會即刻出問題,病毒偷走你幾成腎功能是沒有人知道的,自求多福吧。

Moreover, growing evidence suggests a decline in renal function in the 6-to-12-month follow-up period even in patients without any signs of AKI during the acute phase.

AKI at acute phase of COVID-19 was closely related to the longitudinal decline and post-acute status of kidney function at nearly one-year after symptom onset. Earlier and more intense follow-up strategies on kidney function management could be beneficial to COVID-19 survivors.
