Document: None The present pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome is caused by the coronavirus (2019-nCoV), commonly called COVID-19. Starting from China, it has spread worldwide, causing major morbidity and mortality. It primarily involves the pulmonary system, but other organ systems are not spared. Treatment is still elusive and evolving. The exact pathogenesis of renal damage from COVID-19 virus and the magnitude of renal failure in this infection are not very clear. PubMed was searched to identify published literature from 2019 to present using the following keywords: COVID-19, acute kidney injury, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, chronic kidney disease, renal replacement therapy, and dialysis. Cited references were also used to further identify relevant articles and literature elsewhere on the web. This review looks at the burden and influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the kidneys and on the implications it will have on public health planning.
