In kidney tissue obtained at autopsy of 26 critically ill patients with COVID-19, diffuse proximal tubule injury also was the main finding on light microscopy [9] . This puts SARS-CoV-2 in an expanding list of other viruses with proven kidney tropism, including hantavirus [14] , the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus [15] , polyomavirus (polyomavirus-associated nephropathy) [16] and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-associated nephropathy) [17] . To date, kidney histology of COVID-19 patients with a less severe clinical course has not been reported. In this issue of Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, data from a large European cohort study of patients with COVID-19 are reported [3] .
