ABS TRACT Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the plague of our time, affects many systems. Kidney involvement may cause acute kidney injury by affecting proximal tubules along with other probable sites. Although renal effects of COVID-19 have been reported in adults, pediatric data are limited. A five-year-old, previously healthy boy hospitalized for COVID-19 infection, developed polyuria on the 3 rd day of his admittance. Laboratory workup was compatible with proximal renal tubulopathy and normal clinical and laboratory status was achieved within 5 days with only conservative therapy. Laboratory findings were normal at the first month out-patient visit. We hypothesize that the transient proximal tubulopathy experienced in our case is related to COVID-19 infection. Clinicians should keep in mind the potential tubular involvement in children with COVID-19 infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
