The viral infection causing COVID-19 most notably affects the respiratory system but can result in extrapulmonary clinical manifestations as well. Rhabdomyolysis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of COVID-19 is an uncommon complication of the infection. There is significant interest in this viral infection given its global spread, ease of transmission, and varied clinical manifestations and outcomes. This case report and literature review describes the symptoms, laboratory findings, and clinical course of a patient who developed AKI secondary to rhabdomyolysis and COVID-19, which will help clinicians recognize and treat this condition.
导致新冠肺炎的病毒感染最显著地影响呼吸系统，但也可能导致肺外临床表现。在新冠肺炎背景下，横纹肌溶解相关的急性肾损伤（AKI）是该感染的一种罕见并发症。鉴于这种病毒感染的全球传播、易于传播以及多样的临床表现和结局，人们对其有着极大的兴趣。本病例报告和文献综述描述了一名因横纹肌溶解和新冠肺炎继发急性肾损伤的患者的症状、实验室检查结果及临床病程，这将有助于临床医生识别和治疗这种病症。
