How does yellow fever Affect the kidney?

Yellow fever can affect the kidneys by causing acute kidney injury (AKI) as part of its systemic impact on the body. The virus leads to a decrease in blood flow and oxygen supply to the kidneys, which can result in tubular damage and impaired renal function. Additionally, the inflammatory response triggered by the infection can contribute to kidney injury. In severe cases, this can lead to complications such as renal failure.
