Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19: a Brief Review
Indian Journal of Surgery, 2021
The contemporary evolution of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak from the Wuhan, China, with a high rate of transmission will act the global medical emergency with immense morbidity and mortality rate across the world. The cell entry of COVID-19 via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor (ACE-2 receptor) will damage the respiratory system by the cytopathic effect induced by replication of the virus genome in the host and respond respiratory failure with an elevation of cytokine factorlike interleukin (IL) IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), etc. However, the lung-kidney cross talk will evidence the activation of molecular mechanisms from pro-inflammatory cytokines and concerned with kidney damage, though the elevated rate of ACE-2 receptor in the kidney will enhance the possibility of mortality with consideration of acute kidney injury. This review provides relevant information which suggests the rate of mortality in COVID-19 patient associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) which lacks critical monitoring of kidney function with a clinical consideration of intervention to avoid kidney damage in the initial stage of the disease.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is relatively common in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and it increases mortality and prolongs hospital stay. This article aimed to investigate the history, virology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and management of COVID-19 disease, in general, and the pathogenetic mechanisms of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2)-induced kidney damage, in particular. Keywords like SARS-CoV2, COVID-19, renal impairment, sepsis, viremia, etc. were used to find relevant publications from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and clinical trials registry websites. According to different studies, kidney involvement in COVID-19 typically occurs in patients who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or multiorgan failure. The kidney damage in COVID-19 has been shown to be multifactorial, involving direct viral infection, indirect injury by sepsis, hemodynamic alterations, cytokine storm, disseminated intravascular coagulation and other unknown mechanisms. The presence in kidney of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a receptor for the virus, has been proven, but few cases of direct viral presence in kidney tissue have been published. Therefore, further studies are needed to investigate the exact mechanisms underlying kidney impairment. Since the development of AKI is one of the important risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 patients, optimal management of AKI may improve the outcomes.
Acute kidney injury and COVID-19
The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recent pandemic infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 may lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). Main text SARS-CoV-2 uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4(DPP4) as entry point receptors in the alveolar type II cell of the lung. However, the expression of ACE2 is 100-fold higher in kidney tissue than the lung, though the potential entry point of SARS-CoV-2 for renal tissue and induction of AKI remains undefined. Therefore, reduction of ACE2 and high circulating angiotensin II in COVID-19 may together participate in the induction of AKI. Thereby, direct ACE2 activator is under investigation to be used as an effective therapy in the management COVID-19-induced AKI. Besides, the direct effect via invasion of SARS-CoV-2 may lead to glomerulopathy and renal proximal tubular necrosis. Conclusion COVID-19 may associate with AKI due to direct effect of...
Prevalence of Acute Kidney Injury in Covid-19 Patients- Retrospective Single-Center Study
Infection and Drug Resistance, 2022
Introduction In December 2019, a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease outbreak started in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and spread rapidly to other regions of the world. Although diffuse alveolar injury and acute respiratory failure were the most prominent characteristics, further investigation of organ involvement is essential. Aim In this study, we aim to determine the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in covid-19 patients and also the relationship between inflammatory markers, the severity of lung involvement, and acute kidney injury in COVID-19 patients. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 102 COVID-19 patients presented to a tertiary teaching hospital in Mogadishu during the second wave of Covid-19 2021. Patients’ age, gender, comorbidities, hemoglobin, platelet, and white blood cell counts, glucose, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, CRP, ferritin, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) Covid-19 test and CT scan findings were all collected.

BackgroundCOVID-19-associated acute kidney injury frequency, severity and characterisation in critically ill patients has not been reported.MethodsSingle-center cohort performed from March 3, 2020, to April 14, 2020 in 4 intensive care units in Bordeaux University Hospital, France. All patients with COVID19 and pulmonary severity criteria were included. AKI was defined using KDIGO criteria. A systematic urinary analysis was performed. The incidence, severity, clinical presentation, biological characterisation (transient vs. persistent acute kidney injury; proteinuria, hematuria and glycosuria), and short-term outcomes was evaluated.Results71 patients were included, with basal serum creatinine of 69 ± 21 µmol/L. At admission, AKI was present in 8/71 (11%) patients. Median follow-up was 17 [12–23] days. AKI developed in a total of 57/71 (80%) patients with 35% Stage 1, 35% Stage 2, and 30% Stage 3 acute kidney injury; 10/57 (18%) required renal replacement therapy. Transient AKI was p...
Recent Evidence on Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19 Patients: A Narrative Review
Bioscientia Medicina : Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 is broad, ranging from an asymptomatic carrier state to severe disease leading to the death penalty. There is also emerging evidence that kidneys are affected early in COVID-19. Proteinuria and haematuria have been reported in 44% and 26.7% on admission, respectively. This literature review shows clinical manifestations of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a patient with COVID-19 infection. Literature reviews are carried out on various sources found on Google Scholar and Pubmed to search for articles, journal research, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and textbooks. Various studies demonstrate the possibility of coronavirus infecting the kidney with several mechanisms such as cytokine storm syndrome (CSS), direct viral infection, and imbalance of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAAS). Haematuria and protein...

Background: The kidney is a target organ that could be infected by SARS-CoV-2, and acute kidney injury (AKI) was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 patients' in-hospital death. However, no published works discussed about the risk factors of COVID-19 related AKI. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study, recruiting COVID-19 inpatients from the Sino-French branch of Tongji Hospital. Demographic, clinical, treatment, and laboratory data were collected and compared. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods to identify the risk factors of COVID-19-related AKI. Results: Of the 116 patients in our study, 12 (10.3%) were recognized as AKI, including 5 (4.3%) in-hospital AKI. Multivariable regression showed increasing odds of COVID-19-related AKI associated with COVID-19 clinical classification (OR = 8.155, 95% CI = 1.848-35.983, ref = non-critical, p = 0.06), procalcitonin more than 0.1 ng/mL (OR = 4.822, 95% CI = 1.095-21.228, p = 0.037), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (OR = 13.451, 95% CI = 1.617-111.891, p = 0.016). Conclusions: COVID-19-related AKI was likely to be related to multiorgan failure rather than the kidney tropism of SARS-CoV-2. The potential risk factors of COVID-19 clinical classification, procalcitonin more than 0.1 ng/mL, and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 could help clinicians to identify patients with kidney injury at an early stage.
