Abstract
Open AccessThe coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has pushed the world into a pandemic and global terrorism. As many people have acquired the virus and become ill, many phenomena and systemic manifestations of the disease have raised questions regarding its mechanism and long-term effects. Many studies have been conducted to understand the pathophysiology of coronavirus. Here, we describe the case of a 66 year old Saudi male who experienced pneumonia secondary to severe COVID-19 with subsequent loss of a kidney graft. In addition, we discuss the potential mechanisms underlying COVID-associated coagulopathy.
