Abstract:
Renal impairment is a common complication in patients hospitalized in intensive care unit for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 infection. However, the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 kidney injury is difficult to estimate worldwide. Several pathophysiological mechanisms are involved, including decreased renal perfusion related to mechanical ventilation, sepsis and cytokines release, as well as direct virus toxicity on proximal tubular cells and podocytes, mediated by angiotensin 2 conversion receptors (ACE 2) and TMPRSS proteases. More than 20 % of ICU COVID-19 patients require extra renal replacement therapy (ERT) for acute renal failure that is made difficult by the hypercoagulable state of these patients, responsible for filter thrombosis.

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction
Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
