Coronavirus disease 2019 is a pandemic caused by SARS-Cov-2 infection, it belongs to the family of beta coronavirus., the incidence of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients with covid-19 has been reported to be approximately 37% in the United States. Here we present a 76 years old male patient suffered from fever and body pains one month back diagnosed with long covid or post covid-19. Now patient presented with complaints of leg swelling and shortness of breath on exertion from three to four weeks and decrease appetite from 2 months and facial puffiness and fatigue present.
