Abstract: Introduction: Due to the great threat posed by COVID-19, the scientific community must have evidence of kidney damage in patients affected by this disease, which would make it possible to carry out actions aimed at its prevention and early detection. Objectives: deepen knowledge about COVID-19 and its impact on the kidney. Methods: a bibliographic review on COVID-19 and kidney was carried out, in research published in Spanish and English, in the PubMed, Scielo, and Dialnet databases. All documents published in the last five years (2019-2023) were selected, which included the keywords: COVID-19, kidney, kidney disease. Conclusions: within the systemic involvement caused by COVID-19, the kidney plays a predominant role in its pathophysiology and as a target organ. Kidney disease is in itself a risk factor for morbidity and mortality and acute kidney failure worsens the prognosis; Hence, it is necessary to delve deeper into these topics every day to direct novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
