Renal AA amyloidosis following COVID-19 infection

Primarily a respiratory illness, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has a range of extra-pulmonary involvement, including the kidneys, which are often affected. This infection has been associated with the overproduction of serum amyloid A protein, resulting in systemic AA amyloidosis. We report a case of renal AA amyloidosis presenting as a nephrotic syndrome in a patient without any underlying risk factor except COVID-19 infection. This article offers preliminary insights into a potential connection between this emerging viral disease and this complication, awaiting confirmation through future research.
