ABSTRACT
In December 2019 a newly described single-stranded coronavirus, later named SARS-CoV-2, started its expansion around the world and subsequently caused a global pandemic, affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 can bind multiple receptors on different cells and thus invade many target organs, including the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucous membranes, lungs, central nervous system, heart, etc. This virus can affect the kidney tissue both directly and as a consequence of other organ involvement or of the treatment administered, causing acute kidney injury and leaving long term squeals that worsen the prognosis. We describe three patients with acute kidney injury and subsequent acute renal failure at the background of coronaviral infection. Copyright © 2022 M. Nikolova et al., published by Sciendo.
