“…Neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps — frequently aggregating with platelets — have been observed in many organs including the kidneys, despite the sporadic presence of virus on histology, suggesting a role of inflammation in the development of intravascular thrombi 71 . Cases of renal artery thrombosis have also been anecdotally reported 72 , 73 . Finally, patients with severe COVID-19 often present with complications associated with chronic endothelial dysfunction, such as hypertension or diabetes, which are themselves associated with decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity and bioavailability of nitric oxide — a major vasodilator and antithrombotic factor 74 .…”

Although respiratory failure and hypoxaemia are the main manifestations of COVID-19, kidney involvement is also common. Available evidence supports a number of potential pathophysiological pathways through which acute kidney injury (AKI) can develop in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Histopathological findings have highlighted both similarities and differences between AKI in patients with COVID-19 and in those with AKI in non-COVID-related sepsis. Acute tubular injury is common, although it is often mild, despite markedly reduced kidney function. Systemic haemodynamic instability very likely contributes to tubular injury. Despite descriptions of COVID-19 as a cytokine storm syndrome, levels of circulating cytokines are often lower in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome with causes other than COVID-19. Tissue inflammation and local immune cell infiltration have been repeatedly observed and might have a critical role in kidney injury, as might endothelial injury and microvascular thrombi. Findings of high viral load in patients who have died with AKI suggest a contribution of viral invasion in the kidneys, although the issue of renal tropism remains controversial. An impaired type I interferon response has also been reported in patients with severe COVID-19. In light of these observations, the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19-associated AKI may provide insights into therapeutic strategies.

“…1, другим важным бассейном, который наиболее часто вовлекается при COVID-19, является верхняя брыжеечная артерия. В литературе также описаны случаи поражения и других артериальных бассейнов, в частности дуги и грудного отдела аорты, почечной [36] и селезёночной артерий [14] и даже глазничной артерии [37].…”
