MOTTA, Oswaldo Jesus Rodrigues da et al. Acute kidney injury in SARS-COV-2 infection. []. , 34, 3, pp.157-159. ISSN 0872-0169.  https://doi.org/10.32932/pjnh.2020.10.086.

The current pandemic of COVID-19 - Coronavirus Disease-19, caused by the pathogen SARS-Cov-2, responsible for thousands of deaths in 2020, has mobilized the scientific community, who aim to understand the different aspects of the disease and propose new treatments and prevention modalities. Research in several areas is evaluating the extent of infection and kidney disorders related to the virus. The aim of this study is to describe the effects of COVID-19 on the renal system. Final considerations point to the main complications of the effects of infection and renal disorders caused by COVID-19, such as acute kidney injury and a consequent increase in the disease’s poor prognosis.
