Resumen

MACEO-SOBRADO, Eglys; ELIAS-ARMAS, Karla Sucet; POLL-FERNANDEZ, Arnolis  y  PAUMIER-GALANO, Eddy. Theoretical bases on coronavirus-2 infection in the renal system. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2020, vol.99, n.3, pp. 274-283.  Epub 14-Sep-2020. ISSN 1028-9933.

Introduction:

The infection for coronavirus-2, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, often affects the renal function in many of the patients.

Objective:

To offer a theoretical referent, to contribute on the preparation of medicine students and general doctors about the influence of the infection for coronavirus-2 on the renal system.

Method:

In the Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto, between March and June of 2020, a narrative review about this topic was made through a search in the bibliographical databases Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct and SciELO.

Results:

The information was structured as: general aspects of the COVID-19, physiopathology, symptoms, therapeutic bases, prognosis, and social impact of the nephropathy caused by COVID-19. Unsettled aspects regarding the renal failure caused by this pandemic were also identified.

Conclusions:

The patient's prognostic with COVID-19 is worsened by the presence of acute renal failure; nevertheless, in the physiopathology, the clinical manifestations and patient prognosis on this complication are not completely known. Its appearance is more common in patients with an antecedent of chronic kidney failure, diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension which legitimates the necessity of professional preparation to be capable of a precise evaluation of the renal system for prevention and control of this complication.

Palabras clave : COVID-19; acute renal failure; acute renal injury.
