Abstract
in English, French

During the actual pandemic of COVID-19, it has become clear that the virus causing this devastating disease, SARS-CoV2, targets not only the lungs but also other organs. In this article, we discuss the known or suspected interactions between the virus and the kidneys, as well as their clinical presentations. We also discuss how the pandemic has altered the activities of nephrologists and the logistics of a Swiss dialysis center.

Au cours de la pandémie de COVID-19, nombre de spécialistes se questionnent sur les interactions du virus avec différents tissus et organes au-delà de l’atteinte pulmonaire. Pour diverses raisons, l’effervescence a aussi gagné le néphrologue. Ce bref article présente les différents aspects de l’interaction virus-rein, l’impact de la pandémie sur les activités néphrologiques et tente de répondre à quelques questions d’actualité.
