Abstract | Importance: Even though the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is slowly developing into a conventional infectious disease, the long-term effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus infection are still not well understood. One of the problems is that many COVID-19 cases develop acute kidney injuries. Still, it is heavily debated whether SARS-CoV-2 virus enters and actively replicates in kidney tissue and if SARS-CoV-2 virus particles can be detected in kidney during or post-infection. Here, we demonstrated that nucleocapsid N protein was detected in kidney tubular epithelium of patients that already recovered form COVID-19. The presence of the abundantly produced N protein without signs of viral replication could have implications for the recurrence of kidney disease and have a continuing effect on the immune system. |
