One of the major recommendations is to propose that clinicians use the 20/20 AACC acute kidney injury criteria to determine whether a patient has an injured kidney using creatinine testing. This was recommended due to recent evidence that has linked the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines for creatinine testing with high rates of false positives.

Biopsies show COVID-19 kidney injury not caused by virus in tissue
Two teams, one led by Dr. Vanesa Bijol of Northwell Health in Manhattan and another by Dr. Purva Sharma of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY, found that existing kidney disease can be triggered or worsened by COVID-19. But the biopsies did not show viral presence in kidney tissue.
