Acute reversible renal failure requiring temporary dialysis in a patient with COVID-19

COVID-19 infection is associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury, but the imaging changes of the kidneys are not fully investigated yet. We report the computed tomography findings in a 17-year-old male who developed severe reversible renal impairment. Those findings are similar to the cha...

Description
Summary:COVID-19 infection is associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury, but the imaging changes of the kidneys are not fully investigated yet. We report the computed tomography findings in a 17-year-old male who developed severe reversible renal impairment. Those findings are similar to the changes observed in patients with vasculitis and can be contributed to the thromboembolic manifestations associated with corona virus infection.
