Although granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN) is a rare histological finding in kidney transplants, the joint occurrence of GIN and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature. We report a case of GIN and de novo FSGS in kidney transplant recipients leading to allograft failure. A 69-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) of unknown etiology, as well as liver failure from hepatitis B and C co-infection, initially had a living unrelated kidney transplant (LURT) in 2007 and subsequently received both liver and kidney transplants (SLKTs) in 2017.

Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) has a severe course typically associated with viral infections, especially HIV and parvovirus B19, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), among other etiologies. A 35-year-old woman with recent use of a JAK inhibitor due to rheumatoid arthritis presented with a 2-week history of fever, cervical adenopathy, and facial erythema. After admission, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and severe acute kidney injury were noted.

Article Synopsis
  • * Among 94 patients, most were male and half had a history of hypertension; commonly observed kidney issues included collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).
  • * Results indicated that FSGS and minimal change disease (MCD) were linked to better kidney survival compared to TMA, underscoring differences in kidney complications resulting from COVID-19 within this patient group.

Article Synopsis
  • * A review of 14 studies, covering 159 patients, showed that direct viral infection isn't the primary cause of kidney damage; instead, factors like specific genotypes among patients of African descent contribute to conditions like collapsing glomerulopathy.
  • * Understanding COVID-19-related kidney problems is crucial for developing better treatment strategies and preventing chronic kidney disease, but more research is needed to grasp the long-term effects.
