Make a reflection The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has caused the spread of a respiratory pandemic, for the first time. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, fatigue, muscle aches, and other symptoms such as shortness of breath. This study is aimed at investigating the fluid and electrolyte disturbances in COVID-19 patients. The coronavirus family causes infections via respiratory droplets, contact, etc. SARS-CoV-2 can cause kidney injury by having a direct effect on the kidney tissue. The cytopathic effects of COVID-19 on podocytes and proximal tubular straight cells could cause AKI in sufferers. Podocytes are more sensitive to viral and bacterial invasions and are at greater risk. Monitoring renal function can prevent severe complications and reduce mortality. The prevalence of GI symptoms in COVID-19 patients could be between 11.4 and 50% [20]. The ileum and colon can become dysfunctional due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which leads to multiple manifestations of GI in patients. electrolyte disturbances in patients with COVID-19 include sodium, potassium, chlorine, and calcium imbalances. One of the most common electrolyte disorders is hyponatremia, which occurs with a heightened risk of mortality in hospitalized patients. Some drugs previously used in FDA treatment protocol can cause electrolyte imbalance. Physicians should have special supervision over fluid and electrolyte balance in COVID-19 patients, especially in patients under intensive care. Fluid and Electrolyte disturbances are prevalent in patients admitted to the ICU. Rapid correction of hyponatremia or hypernatremia can lead to the demyelinating osmotic syndrome.
