Double glomerulopathies or two-faced janus? A challenging case in the COVID-19 era
SARS-CoV-2 very often causes kidney involvement through various mechanisms including: acute tubular injury, virus cell invasion, vascular damage due to hypercoagulability and finally dysregulation of the immune system. Even though there are no pathognomonic morphologic features that can rule out or...

description | SARS-CoV-2 very often causes kidney involvement through various mechanisms including: acute tubular injury, virus cell invasion, vascular damage due to hypercoagulability and finally dysregulation of the immune system. Even though there are no pathognomonic morphologic features that can rule out or confirm direct damage by SARS-CoV-2, the latest literature suggests that there may be some association. SARS-CoV-2 infection represents a poor prognostic factor, regardless of pulmonary involvement. We report a challenging case with complex renal biopsy findings suggestive of collapsing glomerulopathy and focal proliferative IgA-dominant glomerulonephritis in a patient affected by active hepatitis C virus (HCV), SARS-CoV-2 infection and personal history of cocaine abuse. |
