About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to highlight current advances made in the understanding of molecular mechanisms and pathology of kidney disease in patients with SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, it will attempt to cover the epidemiological aspect of renal dysfunction, including the incidence of Covid-associated AKI, urinary abnormalities and risk factors for AKI in critically ill patients. In addition, this collection proposes to characterize the current approaches of RRT and other extracorporeal treatments for patients with SARS-CoV-2.
We welcome submissions of Original Research, Case Report, Commentary, Opinion, and Review articles. Specifically, themes of interest include but are not limited to:
• Experimental studies about mechanisms of Covid-19 induced renal damage
• Epidemiology of AKI
• Determination of risk factors for AKI in specific population (chronic haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplant recipients)
• Extracorporeal therapies protocols for critically ill patients
• Long-term sequelae from COVID-19 infections
Keywords: Acute Kidney Injury, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Renal Disease, Proteinuria, Dialysis
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
