Kidney biopsy specimens showed collapsing glomerulopathy, endothelial tubuloreticular inclusions, and acute tubular injury, without evidence by electron microscopy or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in situ hybridization of viral infection of kidney cells. 3, 4 We describe 2 African American patients with COVID-19 infection who presented with acute kidney injury and proteinuria. The incidence of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection varies from 3% to 29% and is a negative prognostic marker. The temporal association with SARS-CoV-2 infection and the presence of endothelial tubuloreticular inclusions, in the absence of any known autoimmune or other identified viral causes in our patients, strongly favor that COVID-19 infection has mediated collapsing glomerulopathy.
