description | Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is considered one of the most significant medical pandemics of this century, with high morbidity and mortality associated with the pandemic. The virus was recognized initially as a cause of pneumonia, but subsequent studies showed significant association with gastrointestinal, neurological, and autoimmune diseases. By 2020, several vaccines became available for use, significantly reducing the infection rate. A good safety profile supported most of the studies related to vaccines. However, this area is still under study, and some reports linked the COVID-19 vaccine to the development of thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, autoimmune diseases, and myocarditis. These side effects need to be reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). The exact etiology of anti-glomerular basement (Anti-GBM) disease remains unknown, but the disease is thought to be triggered by environmental factors in genetically predisposed individuals. It is considered one of the serious diseases that could lead to permanent kidney impairment if not treated early and adequately. That's why a great effort is being made by health care practitioners to figure out and avoid the risk and triggering factors. Few previously published papers linked the COVID-19 vaccine and the development of anti-GBM disease, which raised concerns about digging more into this area. Herein, we are reporting a case of a patient who developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) due to anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody disease two days after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. |
