Association of COVID 19 and Anti GBM disease - Video abstract [ID 333894]

Video abstract of a case series paper "SARS-COV-2 infection and it’s association with anti-glomerular basement disease: a case series" published in the open access International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease by Rakesh Sebastian, Jegan Arunachalam and Manorajan Rajendran.

Abstract: Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (anti-GBM) affects mainly kidneys and lungs. It requires aggressive immunosuppressive treatment.

The causal relationship is still speculative. We report a case series of four patients affected with COVID-19 infection presenting later with anti-GBM disease.
