APOL1 and chronic kidney disease: Given that there are several recent reports of association between high-risk APOL1 status and increased risk of AKI among patients infected with severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [35,36,37,38,39,40,41], further studies are needed to elucidate APOL1 biology, its role in well-defined AKI cases, and its possible modifying effect on progression to CKD after injury.
