Coronavirus: Kidney Damage Caused by COVID-19

"Some people suffering with severe cases of COVID-19 will show signs of kidney damage, even those who had no underlying kidney problems before they were infected with the coronavirus. Signs of kidney problems in patients with COVID-19 include high levels of protein or blood in the urine and abnormal blood work.

Studies indicate more than 30% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 develop kidney injury, and more than 50% of patients in the intensive care unit with kidney injury may require dialysis."

Structural and physiological changes of the kidney with age and its impact on chronic conditions and COVID-19
"SARS-CoV-2 targeting nephrogenic cells via interactions with their surface receptors, including ACE-2 and TMPRSS2 and viral damage leading to renal injury as a direct mechanism, several indirect mechanisms also exist contributing to kidney injury and disease in patients with #COVID19 including ischemic and toxic injury"

Long COVID and kidney disease
"Kidney involvement is common in patients with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, and subclinical inflammation and injury may persist for many months, resulting in a progressive decline in kidney function that leads to chronic kidney disease."

Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19
Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19
"...since SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2) to enter human cells, the kidney is also a target of the viral infection. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most alarming condition in COVID-19 patients."
