Short term outcomes of COVID-19 in lupus: Propensity score matched analysis from a nationwide multi-centric research network
CONCLUSION: The mortality of individuals with SLE due to COVID-19 is comparable to the general population but with higher risks of hospitalisation, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, stroke, VTE and sepsis. The presence of nephritis increases the risk of AKI, thus probably increasing hospitalisation and sepsis.PMID:34649723 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2021.102730

Kidney Disease and Epilepsy
The family of a 47-year-old man with end stage renal failure on hemodialysis brought him to the emergency room. He had missed 3 sessions of dialysis due to concerns for COVID-19 precautions. He had developed increasing confusion and generalized weakness. Examination showed altered mental status and disorientation to date and place. He had bilateral gaze evoked nystagmus and asterixis in his upper extremities. His lab work showed Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) of 75  mg/dL and Creatinine of 6.2 mg/dL. His EEG showed generalized triphasic waves (Fig. 1).

Reconstruction of COVID-19-Related Compartment Syndrome With Massive Soft Tissue Necrosis
CONCLUSIONS: Massive rhabdomyolysis resulted in acute tubular necrosis with renal failure requiring hemodialysis. The timing of reconstruction of the sequelae of compartment syndrome in an acutely ill patient is challenging, but optimal timing can result in a successful outcome.PMID:33872203
