Description
To date, there is no published data regarding the outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with underlying glomerular diseases. Though this is a heterogenous group of patients spanning a wide age range and encompassing diverse disease mechanisms, there is reason to believe that these patients may represent a particularly vulnerable group with heightened risk of severe disease manifestations due to an interplay of factors related to the immunosuppressive medications, underlying immune dysfunction, and comorbidities. To address this need for data and given the relative rarity of glomerular diseases, we created an International Registry of Covid infection in GN (I-RocGN) which was launched April 20, 2020. The registry provides a framework for collection of data on COVID-19 occurring worldwide in individuals with glomerular disease. The link to the secure public survey is https://redcapsurvey.niddk.nih.gov/surveys/?s=FPM87NK7T4 . The objective of I-RocGN is to characterize the clinical course of COVID-19, identify risk factors associated with severe complications, evaluate non-renal and renal outcomes, and assess short-term and long-term effects of COVID-19 on the underlying glomerular disease as well as relevant serologic activity. It is hoped that such data will inform strategies for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in these patients as well provide guidance for medical management of glomerular diseases in the midst of a pandemic.
