Does dengue affect on kidney?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Essentially no: Very severe degue can cause multisystem organ failure, primarily from bleeding due to impaired clotting factors, in which case kidneys can be affected. As reported by Dr. Fowler. Fortunately kidneys are not affected in more than 85% of cases. Possibly more as mild cases may well not be reported.

Only for more: serious cases. See: “Acute kidney injury in dengue virus infection” @ http://ckj.oxfordjournals.org/content/5/5/390.full. Of the 532 Pakistani patients in this study, Acute Kidney Injury was found in 13.3%.
