Overview
COVID-19 can involve many organs leading to organ failure, one of which is kidneys that manifest with mild proteinuria to advanced acute kidney injury (AKI).
Historical Perspective
- Early reports from China revealed that COVID-19 rarely involves the kidneys, as acute renal failure was not seen among COVID-19 hospitalized patients and mild BUN or creatinine rise [10.8%] and mild proteinuria [7.2%] occurred. [1]
- However, recent study found 75.4% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia developed hematuria, proteinuria, and AKI. But, these findings are not significantly different from other critical diseases.[2]
