While there are increasing reports of acute kidney injury among hospitalized adults with COVID-19, there is still limited information on renal complications associated with COVID-19 in children. The cause of kidney involvement in COVID-19 is likely multifactorial, and appears to involve a complex process, including complement dysregulation and thrombotic microangiopathy. We present a pediatric case of COVID-19 and renal failure due to thombotic microangiopathy, successfully treated with eculizumab.
虽然越来越多的报告表明 COVID-19 住院成年患者中存在急性肾损伤,但关于 COVID-19 相关儿童肾脏并发症的信息仍然有限。COVID-19 导致肾脏受累的原因可能是多因素的,似乎涉及一个复杂的过程,包括补体失调和血栓性微血管病。我们报告了一例 COVID-19 患儿因血栓性微血管病导致肾衰竭的病例,该病例成功地接受了依库珠单抗治疗。
