Coronavirus disease 2019-associated nephropathy in an African American patient: a case report and review of the  literature

This condition should be particularly suspected in African American patients who present with acute kidney injury, nephrotic-range proteinuria, and who are positive for coronavirus disease 2019. Current treatment options are limited to supportive treatment and renal replacement therapy. More clinical cases and trials are needed to better understand and improve therapeutic outcomes in these patients.

Acute chest pain and dyspnoea as clinical presentation of primary membranous nephropathy. A case report and literature review
Acta Biomed. 2022 Oct 26;93(5):e2022216. doi: 10.23750/abm.v93i5.12782.ABSTRACTMembranous nephropathy (MN) is the commonest cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adult male patients worldwide. Most of the cases (80%) are idiopathic (primary MN, PMN), whereas about 20% are associated with autoimmune diseases, malignancies or exposures (secondary MN). PMN is a kidney-specific autoimmune glomerular disease mediated by antibodies to the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) (85%), thrombospondin type 1 domain containing 7A (THSD7A) (3-5%), or by other still unidentified mechanisms (10%). Most of the patients with PMN pre...
