COVID-19 于 2020 年成为全球大流行病。SARS-CoV-2 虽然源于呼吸系统,但可影响许多其他器官系统。严重的 COVID-19 患者通常会出现急性肾损伤。最近有研究报告称,COVID-19 患者体内参与肾脏维生素 D 代谢的蛋白质--megalin 的浓度降低。然而,COVID-19 期间megalin、维生素 D 代谢和肾损伤之间的关系尚不清楚。科学报告》(Scientific Reports)上的一项研究发现,在感染了 SARS-CoV-2 的 K18-hACE2 小鼠中,megalin 表达的减少似乎改变了维生素 D 在肾脏中的作用,尽管与对照组相比,受感染动物体内的维生素 D 水平保持不变。SARS-CoV-2感染会增加肿瘤坏死因子α的水平,这表明维生素D代谢异常。这些结果表明,明确维生素 D 在 COVID-19 患者肾脏中的局部作用对于更好地治疗 COVID-19 相关肾脏发病机制非常重要:Kurosaki, Y. et al.
