Abstract
Coronavirus has caused thousands of deaths due to several mechanisms of injury including acute kidney injury (AKI). Most of the patients have a fast progression of the disease leading to death in the second week of hospital admission, however, here we have a case of a 58-year-old female who died in less than 24 hours of admission due to severe metabolic acidosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and renal failure.
Keywords: acidosis; covid-19; cytokine storm; hemodialysis; mortality; renal failure; risk factors.
