Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sarenthia M. Epps' research investigates the intersection of infectious diseases, particularly COVID-19, with broader health and environmental factors. Her work has explored the increased risk of acute kidney injury associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, noting a bimodal age distribution for this complication. Epps has also examined the association between tocilizumab use in critically ill COVID-19 patients and an elevated risk of fungal infections, especially in those with acute renal failure. Her publications also touch upon the potential toxic synergy between COVID-19 and climate change, as well as drug-induced lung injury and arterial thrombus in COVID-19 patients. Epps collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Nikhil Meena, William T. Atchley, Rajani Jagana, and Barrett J. Burger.
