1.Tweet chain alert...on GNs with #covid19 vaccine... what is the most common GN seen post COVID19 vaccine?
2. A study led by Meryl Waldman @NIH creating a registry to evaluate de novo glomerular diseases potentially attributed to COVID19 vaccines published in @ASNKidney360 @ASNKidney may help answer this question journals.lww.com/kidney360/Abst… 
3. An earlier study by @Tiff_Caza showed IgA nephropathy, MCD, membranous nephropathy, crescentic GN, and collapsing GN as the most common GNs-attributed to COVID19 vaccines but was limited to 29 patients only pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35372991/ @ASNKidney360

📌 IgAN is characterized by:
🔸Mesangial immune-complex deposits which sometimes can extend to the capillary loops & sub-endothelial locations
🔸 Dominant IgA deposits compared to the other immunoglobulins
