Post-COVID ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: A Case Report

Abstract

Although it has been reported rarely in the literature in patients who develop acute kidney injury after COVID-19 disease, ANCA-related vasculitis should also be kept in mind. Thus, it is possible to reduce mortality and morbidity. We presented a middle-aged male patient who was diagnosed with post-COVID ANCA-associated vasculitis.
