Resumen
TORRES, W et al. Pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and kidney disease: a clinical and molecular perspective. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2021, vol.44, n.3, pp.445-456. Epub 30-Mayo-2022. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0973.
The SARS-CoV-2 infection has become as a worldwide public health emergency. It exhibits a variety of clinical presentations, ranging from benign to acute respiratory distress syndrome, systemic involvement, and multiorganic failure. The severity of the clinical picture depends on host and virus biological features and the presence of comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease. In addition, the interaction between the virus, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, and the exacerbated immune response could lead to the development of acute kidney injury. However, the implications of SARS-CoV-2 infection on renal cells, the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease, and the long-term behavior of renal function are not entirely understood. This review aims to explore the role of SARS-CoV-2 in acute and chronic kidney disease and the possible pathogenic mechanisms of renal involvement.
