ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus disease 19 (nCoV19) is universally known as Covid-19, which is caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and affects diverse range of organs, presenting with pulmonary manifestations as acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and extra-pulmonary manifestations like acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is regarded as a poor prognostic factor in patients with severe Covid-19, thus early detection and management of this critical status may reduce the risk of complications and mortality. We present the case of a 30 years old man with moderate Covid-19 presenting with haematuria and eventually diagnosed as AKI. The patient was managed compared with a Covid-19 patient as control. The patient recovered within three weeks of supportive and standard care therapy. Reversible AKI and associated haematuria can be the presenting features of Covid-19 and are linked with mild-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection.
