Outcome of Therapies for Membranous Glomerulonephritis During Three Waves of COVID Pandemic

Copyright: © 2023 Indian Journal of Nephrology..

There is lack of clarity on immunosuppressive therapy in glomerular diseases and concomitant corona-virus infection. We retrospectively evaluated 36 patients with primary membranous nephropathy from January 2020 to December 2021 who had received immunosuppression during this period. Diagnosis of COVID-19 was made based on self-reported history of being COVID positive. History of hospitalization and oxygen therapy was noted. Four patients developed COVID-19 in this cohort, and all were infected only once. Two patients had asymptomatic disease and two were hospitalized for severe COVID-19 and had complete recovery. In immunocompromised patients, there is a high risk of infection. This observational study is an attempt to bridge the gap that immunosuppression can precipitate COVID-19 infection.
