FIGURE 1
Schematic representation of the potential contribution of various renal manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including COVAN, to an increased risk of mortality. COVAN presents itself as loss of glomerular filtration rate, microscopic haematuria and/or proteinuria. These have all been associated with overall mortality, although a causal relationship has not been proven. In addition, pre-existent CKD is a modifier of the risk of COVID-19-associated mortality.
