Resumen
TORO-CISNEROS, Noemí Del et al. What Did We Learn about Coronavirus Disease-19-Associated Acute Kidney Injury During the Pandemic?. Rev. invest. clín. [online]. 2022, vol.74, n.6, pp.287-301. Epub 23-Ene-2023. ISSN 2564-8896. https://doi.org/10.24875/ric.22000146.
Initial reports suggested that kidney involvement after coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) infection was uncommon, but this premise appears to be incorrect. Acute kidney injury can occur through various mechanisms and complicate the course of up to 25% of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in our Institution, and of over 50% of those on invasive mechanical ventilation. Mechanisms of injury include direct kidney injury and predominantly tubular, although glomerular injury has been reported, and resulting from severe hypoxic respiratory failure, secondary infection, and exposure to nephrotoxic drugs. The mainstay of treatment remains the prevention of progressive kidney damage and, in some cases, the use of renal replacement therapy. Although the use of blood purification techniques has been proposed as a potential treatment, results to date have not been conclusive. In this manuscript, the mechanisms of kidney injury by COVID-19, risk factors, and the mainstays of treatment are reviewed.
