Message: <blockquote data-quote="okcBob" data-source="post: 3669199" data-attributes="member: 45783">“Remdesivir has about a 50% mortality rate from kidney failure.”50%?? Not sure about that stat. I know there was a crazy conspiracy chiropractor online claiming Remdesivir was killing covid patients by kidney failure, but I haven’t seen any legit research to support that high a rate.We typically use Remdesivir within the first 10 days of symptoms, as it’s not as effective after that. Also, since it can be renal toxic, we don’t give it if the GFR is below 40 to prevent any kidney damage & also monitor renal function closely when administered . I would discuss with a doc to see if it’s clinically appropriate.</blockquote>
