ABSTRACT
Acute kidney injury occurs in about 30% of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is one of the most common extrapulmonary complications of this disease. The highest risk of acute kidney injury is found in hospitalized patients who require mechanical ventilation. The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury in COVID-19 is multifactorial and seems to not be fully understood. Both direct and indirect mechanisms of kidney injury caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) should be considered. The histological picture of kidney specimens obtained from patients with acute kidney injury in the course of COVID-19 is dominated by acute tubular necrosis. Some patients also have acute interstitial nephritis, blood clots in the kidney vessels and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (the variant with collapsing vascular loops). Acute kidney injury in COVID-19 is primarily caused not by direct viral effect, but by indirect pathophysiological mechanisms. The histopathological findings in these patients does not differ from the majority of the other patients with acute kidney injury. The main pathophysiological mechanisms underlying acute kidney injury in COVID-19 are hemodynamic abnormalities, hypoxia and cytokine storm. The methods of treating the underlying disease, i.e., COVID-19 in patients with acute kidney injury and those without acute kidney injury are similar. However, it should be stressed that in the treatment of COVID-19 accompanied by acute kidney injury, the contraindication to remdesivir is estimated using glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2. The general principles of management in patients with both, COVID-19 and acute kidney injury do not differ from the principles of management in patients with acute kidney injury due to the other causes.
