What modifications we can bring in our clinical setup to prevent our staff & patients from COVID 19?
1.Use of face mask is must for doctor and patient. 2.Distance should be maintained if patient has flu like symptoms. 3. Avoid direct contact , if needed use of hang gloves or use sanitizer. 4. Online consultation may play a great role if possible.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF AKI IN COVID- 19 PATIENTS. AKI appears to involve a complex process driven by virus-mediated injury, cytokine storm, AngII pathway activation, dysregulation of complement, hypercoagulation, and microangiopathy interacting with common and known risk factors for AKI . There is paucity of data regarding clinical and laboratory characteristics of AKI in patients with COVID-19. We urge that further studies describing and analyzing the clinical course of patients with COVID-19 include appropriate indices of kidney function and diagnosis of AKI in their analyses, including kidney injury markers, urine microscopy, quantified urine protein, urine output, and urine electrolytes. Markers of macrophage activation, coagulation, microangiopathy, and complement activation, as well as kidney imaging and need for KRT (with relevant details), are important data needed to further our understanding of AKI pathophysiology associated with COVID-19. Rates of reversibility of, or partial improvement in, kidney function and any kidney biopsy results (including immunofluorescence and electron microscopy) should be reported. In the rush to report medical complications of COVID-19, we are missing valuable clinical information. Speculation about specific interventions would not be appropriate until we obtain appropriate information. We advocate for a complete and standardized appraisal of the clinical and laboratory picture so that preventative and therapeutic strategies for AKI can be appropriately designed and implemented.
