Abstract:
We present a case of a 73-year-old African American lady with COVID-19 infection who developed acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and significant proteinuria. Renal biopsy showed IgA nephropathy. Patient was eventually diagnosed with IgA nephropathy secondary to COVID Infection. This unique case highlights the complexity of renal involvement in COVID-19. Notably, the onset of IgA nephropathy in the patient occurred several weeks after her COVID-19 diagnosis, deviating from the typical synpharyngitic presentation. This article contributes to the growing body of evidence regarding renal complications associated with COVID-19 and highlights the need for vigilance in assessing and managing renal conditions in COVID-19 patients, especially when atypical presentations occur.
