ABSTRACT
After its discovery in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has now become a pandemic in a short period. The kidney involvement is frequently reported, especially in critically ill hospitalized patients. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed for this damage range from direct invasion, cytokine storm, and hemodynamic derangements. Although COVID-19 has been described to have association with hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic events in major blood vessels, renal infarction due to COVID-19 infection is a rare occurrence. We here report a rare case of renal infarction due to COVID-19 infection. This patient initially presented with COVID pneumonia with acute kidney injury. Later on during evaluation of his gastrointestinal complaints, he was detected to have renal infarction by computed tomography angiography.
