C3 Glomerulonephritis Post COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Abstract
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe illness of COVID -19. There are increasing reports of glomerulonephritis post COVID-19 vaccination. We describe a case of an older male patient who developed acute kidney injury and C3 glomerulonephritis that coincided with the timing of COVID-19 vaccination. We review the literature on glomerulonephritis reported in association with the different types of COVID-19 vaccination.
