Abstract
Acute kidney injury is an important finding in COVID-19 patients that can even result in renal replacement therapy. AKI complicates COVID-19 management by making volume management and administering agents with renal clearance challenging tasks. Various reasons have been proposed for the development of acute kidney injury in COVID-19 patients, including multi-organ failure and pre-renal causes, drug toxicity, tubular injury, and invasion of proximal tube podocytes by SARS-CoV-2. Although the development of AKI is not uncommon in COVID-19 patients, several inconsistencies in the literature exist regarding incidence rate and risk factors of acute kidney injury among hospitalized patients.
