SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Forerunner or Precursor in Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis With Kidney Injury.

COVID-19 disease and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis are both multi-systemic conditions. It is postulated there is a causal relationship between both conditions and this is supported by some case reports. The symptoms of COVID-19 can mimic those of vasculitis especially when the respiratory system is affected.
