Exploring the Potential Link Between Minimal Change Disease and COVID-19 Vaccines

Different adverse events may occur following COVID-19 vaccination, one of which is minimal change disease. This article will summarize two case reports of minimal change disease, a kidney disorder, after COVID-19 vaccine administration. These case reports were collected by&nbsp;React19, a science-based non-profit organization that supports vaccine-injured individuals, also, a TrialSite partner.&nbsp;TrialSite previously covered a&nbsp;study&nbsp;on renal disorder prevalence post-COVID-19 vaccination and VAERS-reported occurrences.
Minimal change disease (MCD) is a kidney disorder characterized by damage to the glomeruli, the kidney&rsquo;s filtering units. The glomeruli appear normal under a normal microscope and only a very powerful microscope can detect the problem. That's why it is referred to as &ldquo;minimal change disease.&rdquo; MCD may lead to&nbsp;nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder causing excessive protein in urine and fluid retention, especially in children.&nbsp;
