ABSTRACT
Vaccination is a vital tool aimed at curbing the COVID-19 pandemic, and the FDA has authorized several vaccines for emergency use to combat COVID-19. Our patient presented with acute kidney injury two weeks after receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. Renal biopsy confirmed focal crescentic glomerulonephritis. The patient has been unable to achieve remission after diagnosis and is now a candidate for a kidney transplant. In conclusion, this case report provides insight into the possible relationship between glomerular disease following COVID-19 Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccination. Based on this presented case, new-onset or relapse of glomerular diseases presenting post-COVID-19 vaccination should be observed as a possible adverse event to large-scale COVID-19 vaccination.
