ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT COVID-19 disease is a systemic infection associated with renal damage leading to acute kidney injury with acute tubular necrosis and several types of podocytopathies. We report a clinical case in a kidney transplant patient diagnosed with COVID-19 disease, acute kidney injury and nephrotic syndrome. SARS-CoV 2 PCR results in nasal swab was positive and kidney was negative. Renal histopathologic findings described minimal change disease. So far, this case is the first clinical report of minimal change disease associated to COVID-19 in a kidney transplant patient.
