Recurrent kidney stones and increased risk of severe COVID-19?

The Quarantine Zone

Illinois recently expanded vaccination to people with certain underlying medical conditions that may create an elevated risk of a severe case disease if the person contracts COVID-19. One of the qualifying conditions is chronic kidney disease.

Of course there are a million different kinds and degrees of kidney disease. If someone is prone to recurrent kidney stones, does that count for this purpose? I haven’t been able to find anything concrete about it so far.

(No, it’s not for me; I already have a vaccination scheduled for next Sunday due to crappy lungs. Yes, the person in question will inquire with his doctor. No, luckily, don’t need answer fast.)

Interesting question. Here’s one answer:

Recurrent kidney stones can cause chronic kidney disease (CKD). KIdney stones is a form of kidney disease but does not always cause CKD. If the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls to less than 60 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared, or if blood or protein end up in the urine, and is present for more than 3 months, then it qualifies for CKD
