COVID-19 and Kidney Disease - Is there a link?

Causes of SARS-CoV-2 Severe damage all over the body, not only the respiratory system. Numerous studies have confirmed that the Corona virus affects the heart, brain, and liver. Exactly what’s going on in the kidneys As a result of infection, it has so far remained unexplored. A work published in Cell sheds new light on this.

Researchers from RWTH Uniklinik Aachen in Germany and Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands studied Kidneys of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 viruswho were admitted to the intensive care unit. A team of German-Dutch scientists questioned the exact cause of the damage to these organs. Is it a direct effect of the virus or a long-term systemic inflammation in the body? To verify this, they were bred in laboratory conditions Kidney OrganismsThat mimics full-size kidney function.

Kidney organelles were infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the direct effects of the virus on the cells that compose it were examined. Tissue scarring is found. These observations are in line with recent American studies that mentioned Deterioration in the performance of the kidneys in more than 90,000 people who have contracted COVID-19.

In our study, we comprehensively examined the harmful effects of coronavirus on the kidneys. Infected kidney organelles show that the virus directly damages cells, regardless of the immune system. Thanks to this work, we’ve found a piece of the puzzle that shows the harmful effects the virus can have in the body, said Dr. Jitsky Jansen of Radbodomic.

Research has shown that Kidney fibrosis It may be a serious consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This in turn confirms that COVID-19 is not a respiratory disease, but a multi-organ disease that may have profound health complications.
