Resumen
DUARTE, Tiago et al. Acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 infection: a case report. Port J Nephrol Hypert [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.3, pp.192-195. Epub 30-Sep-2021. ISSN 0872-0169. https://doi.org/10.32932/pjnh.2021.10.146.
SARS-Cov2 infection is a highly transmissible disease associated with serious pulmonary disease. Renal involvement is frequent and associated with poor prognosis; however, mechanisms of kidney injury are not well established.
We present a SARS-Cov2 patient with severe acute kidney injury. Kidney biopsy findings revealed a pattern of acute tubular necrosis with isometric vacuolization of the proximal tubule. The interstitium and glomeruli were normal. Electronic microscopy showed multiple viral-like particles in both the glomeruli and proximal tubule.
This case study shows how SARS-Cov 2 infection can result in different kinds of kidney lesion.
