[Acute renal failure due to covid-19: about the two cases in Mali].

Unlabelled: The kidney is one of the target of Covid-19. Damage may present itself as acute renal failure (5-35% of patients), hematuria (30-40%) and/or proteinuria (40-65%). We report the first couple cases of acute renal failure due to Covid-19 in Mali : a 63years old woman and a 60years old man, both black and diabetics. The circumstances of discovery of renal failure were oliguria in both cases and total macroscopic hematuria for the man.

Conclusion: The kidney damages become more and more frequent during Covid-19 infection. We suggest that they should be systematically investigated as soon as the diagnosis of this infection is made.
