October 2025 in “Journal of the American Society of Nephrology” A 56-year-old male developed acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis likely associated with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, following a significant decline in kidney function three months post-vaccination. Initial treatment with high-dose prednisone improved his eGFR from 8 cc/min to 40 cc/min, but stopping prednisone led to a recurrence of kidney issues. A third biopsy confirmed the recurrence of granulomas, and treatment with Cellcept stabilized his condition, improving eGFR to 38 cc/min. This case supports previous findings of a potential link between COVID-19 vaccination and acute interstitial nephritis, with effective management using steroids and Cellcept.
