Abstract: Covid-19 is a new virus and very little research has been done regarding it. Target organs of SARS-CoV-2 are not only the lungs and the heart but other organs as well. There has been a huge focus on the effect this novel virus has on the kidneys. This is proven by the presence of proteinuria, hematuria and acute kidney injury (AKI). This has been specifically noted in pregnant women, who are a target group for a more complex COVID19 disease than in the nonpregnant ones. We have reported a case of a COVID19 positive patient with a gemellar pregnancy complicated with macrohematuria because of transitory glomerular damage due to the virus infection. The patient delivered two healthy COVID19 negative newborns, while she continued treatment in the Clinic of Infectology. Pregnant women, without any previous kidney pathology are prone to kidney damage as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and should be closely monitored for the development of AKI in order to prevent it.
