Abstract

A relate of a case of a young patient who presented a diagnosis of quadriplegia and evolved to a cardiorespiratory arrest due to their diagnosis of Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis concomitant with COVID-19.As a consequence of the patient’s serious case of hypokalemia, they needed mechanical ventilation and potassium replacement. It is noted that the infection by the new coronavirus can cause cytopathic harm, rendering the renal buffer system ineffective, and, if not treated properly, can lead to a bad prognosis.
