Review of Neurological and Renal Manifestations of COVID 19 and its Management: A Narrative View

Gargantiel MF | Padilla J. | Dean MD

Abstract: A global public health threat causing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been the result of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Patients have been experiencing pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome among others as distinctive severe manifestations of the disease. Furthermore, other articles have stated that aside from respiratory symptoms, neurological damage, acute kidney failure, skin manifestations, renal damage, endocrine organ manifestations and the eyes are also affected by the systemic COVID-19 disease as part of its complications. However, the spectrum of neurological and renal involvement in COVID-19 has not been elucidated yet. Herein, we provide information and data taken from other references as we discussed the complications and potential mechanisms of COVID-19 in the nervous and renal system and the possible optimal therapeutic and non-therapeutic strategies in this review.
