Average and standard deviation of age into. Two main groups were hemodialysis with COVID and hemodialysis in control (42.75 ± 17.46, 43.467 ± 15.45) respectively, and a p-value 0.70, regarding hypertension and DM, the result showed a significant effect of hypertension for hemodialysis, especially with COVID infection p-value (0.02), but slightly change with DM p-value (0.031). the mortality of hemodialysis with covid 19 showed 22% from 80 patients but only2% from hemodialysis without covid 19 in the same periode of the study.result of this study illustrates the average and stander deviation of D-Dimer.
