COVID-19-associated nephritis: early warning for disease severity and complications? Here we report that analysis of a urine sample on admission to hospital can be used to detect systemic capillary leak syndrome, which can be a predictor of fluid overload, respiratory failure, need for ICU admission, and death. Three of these patients had coincidentally submitted urine samples in the few weeks before their infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On the basis of these findings, we generated an algorithm for early detection of COVID-19-associated nephritis and to assess the risk of respiratory decompensation by capillary leak syndrome (figure). In summary, the respiratory tract is the gateway for SARS-CoV-2 infection, but we postulate that COVID-19associated nephritis, which can be easily screened for through a simple and inexpensive urine sample analysis, might help predict complications.	./cache/cord-325991-dktffiaa.txt	./txt/cord-325991-dktffiaa.txt
