Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has quickly become a global pandemic. Most patients with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but develop severe symptoms as well, which can include acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and multiple organ failure. Renal involvement is common, with a clinical presentation ranging from mild proteinuria to progressive acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). An understanding of the pathophysiology and mechanisms of kidney injury and ARI in the context of critical illness and COVID-19 We conducted a literature review to identify the impact of COVID 19 infection on the occurrence of acute renal failure. We specifically analyzed kidney functions in COVID-19 patients and their relationship to mortality. Only acute renal failure (ARI) directly linked to SARS-CoV 2 infection is considered other causes of renal failure of hemodynamic, iatrogenic or other origin are excluded.
