Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente con trasplante renal y COVID-19 que debuta con lesión renal aguda y síndrome nefrótico. Proteína C-reactiva para síndrome respiratorio agudo severo 2 en hisopado nasal es positiva y en tejido renal es negativa. Biopsia renal reporta enfermedad de cambios mínimos. A la fecha es el primer reporte de esta podocitopatía asociada a COVID-19 en paciente con trasplante renal.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 disease is a systemic infection associated with renal damage leading to acute kidney injury with acute tubular necrosis and several types of podocytopathies.
