There is compelling evidence that renal complications in a native kidney are a major concern in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the causal agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The spectrum of renal lesions observed on renal grafts in this context remains to be determined.
We report the case of a renal transplant recipient with non-severe COVID-19, who subsequently developed nephrotic syndrome associated with acute renal injury.
Renal biopsy demonstrated focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions classified as not otherwise specified histological variant. Genotyping for 2 risk alleles of the apolipoprotein L1 gene demonstrated that the donor was homozygous for the G2/G2 genotype.
In renal transplant patients receiving kidneys from donors with high-risk apolipoprotein L1 variants, COVID-19 may promote acute glomerular injury in the form of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis.
有确凿证据表明,新型冠状病毒 2(COVID-19 的病原体)感染患者的固有肾脏并发症是一个主要关注点。在这种情况下,在移植肾脏上观察到的肾脏病变谱仍有待确定。
我们报告了一例患有非重症 COVID-19 的肾移植受者,随后出现肾病综合征伴急性肾损伤。
肾活检显示局灶性和节段性肾小球硬化病变,分类为非特异性组织学变异型。载脂蛋白 L1 基因的 2 个风险等位基因的基因分型显示供体为 G2/G2 基因型纯合子。
在接受高风险载脂蛋白 L1 变异体供肾的肾移植患者中,COVID-19 可能以局灶性和节段性肾小球硬化的形式导致急性肾小球损伤。
