Abstract
We thank Antonella Corcillo and colleagues for their interest in our Article.1 We fully agree with them on the importance of the association between microvascular disease and severe COVID-19 and its manifestation as associations with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria, and retinopathy. We also agree that the role of endothelial dysfunction in microvascular disease in diabetes suggests a common mechanism for the association with severe COVID-19. Indeed, in preliminary drafts from our Article we discussed this point, but space requirements meant that it was not included in the final version.
