Viral-associated nephropathy is when kidney disease results from active viral replication. Because of the high global burden of viral infections, clinicians should be aware of their incidence, kidney manifestations, mechanism of injury, and management. Some viruses, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can lead to nephropathy more commonly than other endemic viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and polyoma virus which are more important causes of nephropathy in the immunosuppressed patient.
