    Snippet: Kidney involvement in human coronavirus cases was observed in the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) epidemic in the early 2000. A study reported that SARS-CoV infection showed 6.7% of acute renal impairment and 84.6% of proteinuria on dipstick tests (12) . Another study detected SARS-CoV in the distal convoluted tubules of the kid-ney (13) . Polymerase chain reaction fragments of coronavirus were detected in urine from 21%-.....
    Document: Kidney involvement in human coronavirus cases was observed in the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) epidemic in the early 2000. A study reported that SARS-CoV infection showed 6.7% of acute renal impairment and 84.6% of proteinuria on dipstick tests (12) . Another study detected SARS-CoV in the distal convoluted tubules of the kid-ney (13) . Polymerase chain reaction fragments of coronavirus were detected in urine from 21%-50% of SARS patients. These findings suggested a possibility of kidney tropism in coronavirus cases (14) . In addition, there were some reports about MERS-CoV RNA in blood and urine samples. A case showed that MERS-CoV was present in the urine after renal failure on 14th day after the onset of illness (10) . And another case showed that viral RNA in urine was positive from the 20th to the 30th day after the onset of illness accompanied with positive RNA in the blood from the 13th to the 30th day (4).
