ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus will induce a rapid change in nephrology. Nephrology will be stronger and better if we display the same solidarity we did while we fought the virus. Malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance can make dysfunction in the immune system and impairment of the immune system causes increasing the risk of infection. Dietary management is considered a strategy to minimize the potential risk of viral infections (COVID-19). Potassium: It has shown that COVID-19 patient's loss of potassium from urine so it causes hypokalemia in these patients. Sodium: The hyponatremia that mostly due to the SIADH, up to 12% of coronavirus patients have a low sodium level. Calcium: Coronavirus membrane fusion is associated with extracellular conditions. It has been observed that cellular ion conditions involve in the entrance of the virus. Magnesium: The role of magnesium in immune function is mediated by several mechanisms including immune cell adherence, antibody-dependent cytolysis, and IgM lymphocyte binding. Zinc: Zinc is an important trace element that has critical roles in the body, proliferation and function of NK cells, macrophages, neutrophils, T and B cells, and also the production of cytokines can be controlled by zinc. Selenium: In the structure of some enzymes and as well as Vitamin E prohibits producing free radicals. Iron: Viral replication needs iron, a high level of iron may increase viral infections. Folic Acid: has an inhibitory function, it might be useful for the treatment of new coronavirus. Copper: Copper is an essential trace element in the body and the need for protecting DNA from oxidative stress.
