ABSTRACT
La infección por SARS-CoV-2 se ha convertido en unproblema mundial de salud pública. Su presentaciónclínica es variada, desde benigna hasta un síndrome dedistrés respiratorio agudo, afectación sistémica y fallomultiorgánico. La severidad del cuadro clínico depen-de de factores biológicos del virus y del huésped y decomorbilidades como la enfermedad renal. Además, lainteracción entre el virus, la enzima convertidora deangiotensina 2 y la respuesta inmunológica exacerbadapodría conducir al desarrollo de lesión renal aguda. Sinembargo, las implicaciones de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 sobre las células renales, las repercusiones pro-nósticas en los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónicay su efecto a largo plazo sobre la función renal no estándel todo claras. El objetivo es revisar el papel del SARS-CoV-2 en la enfermedad renal aguda y crónica, y sus po-sibles mecanismos patogénicos en la afectación renal.
The SARS-CoV-2 infection has become as a worldwidepublic health emergency. It exhibits a variety of clinicalpresentations, ranging from benign to acute respira-tory distress syndrome, systemic involvement, andmultiorganic failure. The severity of the clinical picturedepends on host and virus biological features and thepresence of comorbidities such as chronic kidney dis-ease. In addition, the interaction between the virus,angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, and the exacerbatedimmune response could lead to the development ofacute kidney injury. However, the implications of SARS-CoV-2 infection on renal cells, the prognosis of patientswith chronic kidney disease, and the long-term behav-ior of renal function are not entirely understood. Thisreview aims to explore the role of SARS-CoV-2 in acuteand chronic kidney disease and the possible pathogen-ic mechanisms of renal involvement.(AU)
