2020), growing scientific evidence worldwide suggests that a small percentage of people who have developed COVID-19 and healed after the initial infection may experience a series of persistent symptoms over a period of more than 12 weeks, such as marked fatigue, shortness of breath, confusion, diarrhea, or other symptoms that cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. This status has been called “long COVID syndrome” or ”post COVID syndrome”.

During pregnancy, anatomical and functional changes occur in all organs and systems of the body. The family doctor evaluates the morphofunctional changes in the reno-urinary system throughout the pregnancy. These morphological and functional changes often have no clinical expression. Morphofunctional changes in the reno-urinary system cause changes in laboratory tests results and are the basis for the appearance of urinary tract symptoms. The family doctor has an important role in assessing the pregnant woman, and in diagnosing renal pathology early. Although the pregnant woman has an increased risk of developing various urinary tract diseases, frequently, under active monitoring and conservative treatment, the evolution can be favorable.

After the acute period of the infection with SARS-CoV-2, new symptoms may appear. Alternatively, those present might persist. Medium-term symptoms and complications of COVID-19 infection have been reported to persist in several organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain. Subsequent monitoring varies from one week to three months, depending on the symptoms and risk factors present. During the initial follow-up assessment, a comprehensive history of the patient's COVID-19 disease, including disease history, duration and severity of symptoms, types and severity of complications has to be obtained. The need for laboratory tests is determined by the severity of the disease, previous results during their illness and current symptoms.
