T148 |
0-230 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Other noteworthy observations include the presence ofSARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein in renal tubular structures and virus-like particles in podocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells, as observed by electron microscopy [65,66]. |
T149 |
231-342 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Together these observations suggest the virus may cause AKI through a direct cytopathic effect on kidney cells. |
T150 |
343-561 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In particular, it is conceivable that the virus may enter the kidney by invading the podocytes first, thereby gaining access to the tubular fluid and thence to the proximal tubule cells where it may bind to ACE-2 [64]. |
T151 |
562-724 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The viral replication in podocytes and the resulting damage could explain the proteinuria and hematuria reported in a high percentage of COVID-19 patients [8,27]. |
T152 |
725-911 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, if the renal dysfunction is caused only by direct damage of SARS-CoV-2 or is secondary also to other systemic processes triggered by the virus, it has not been well defined yet. |
