About

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the causative agent for a series of atypical respiratory diseases in Wuhan, China in December of 2019(.1) The disease termed COVID-19, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. SARS-CoV-2 contains a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome surrounded by an extracellular membrane containing a series of spike glycoproteins resembling a crown.COVID-19 infection results in diverse symptoms and morbidity depending on individual genetics, ethnicity, age, and geographic location. In severe cases, COVID-19 pathophysiology includes destruction of lung epithelial cells, thrombosis, hypercoagulation, and vascular leak leading to sepsis.(2) COVID-19 risk factors include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.(2)

Full description

Notably, in several studies, diabetes is one of the most reported comorbidities with poor prognosis in patients with severe COVID-19 due to Compromised innate immunity, pro-inflammatory cytokine reduced expression of ACE2 and use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system antagonists. (3) On the other hand, COVID-19 contributes to worsening of dysglycemia in people with diabetes mellitus by direct β-cell damage, cytokine-induced insulin resistance, hypokalemia and drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19 (like corticosteroids, lopinavir/ritonavir).(4) Nearly half of critically ill patients would develop AKI at some point during their ICU admission.(5) Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported to be the second observed complication in deceased patients after ARDS.it is reported that patients who died with covid19 had different degrees of AKI .The pathogenesis of kidney injury in patients infected with covid19 is multifactorial: (1) prerenal azotemia, ATN can occur owing to many contributing factors including volume depletion, cytokine storm, hypoxia, shock, or rhabdomyolysis (2) proximal tubular injury, (3) glomerulopathy, (4) thrombotic microangiopathy, and (5)complications from the treatment of COVID_19.
