We report on a 63-year old black male patient who developed acute kidney injury in the setting of COVID-19. This finding suggests that FSGS could account for the heavy proteinuria reported in a significant proportion of patients with COVID-19 1 . Collapsing FSGS, with or without acute tubular necrosis, can also complicate the course of hemophagocytic syndrome 11 , a disorder characterized by an increased release of a wide range of cytokines. This suggests that tubular injury in COVID-19 patients, unlike that seen in coronavirus-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) 12 , is not predominantly ischemic. This observation suggests that collapsing FSGS, potentially resulting from a direct viral effect on podocytes, probably belongs to the spectrum of COVID-19-associated renal involvement.	./cache/cord-343443-ljehete1.txt	./txt/cord-343443-ljehete1.txt
