Patient clinical characteristics

Patient Age, yr Sex MH Medications Evidence of systemic IgA vasculitis before vaccination Temporal relation of gross hematuria to Moderna SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination Baseline (hematuria / uPCR / SCr) Presentation (hematuria / uPCR / SCr) Evidence of systemic IgA vasculitis after vaccination Biopsy Treatment Follow-up 1 mo post second dose (hematuria / uPCR / SCr)
1 22 F None None since episodic steroids for IgA vasculitis at age 10 yr Yes 48 h after second dose 4–10 / neg / 0.80 >50 / 0.40 / 0.80 No No None 0–3 / 0.27 / 0.80 (hematuria returned to baseline)
2 39 F None None No 48 h after second dose 0–3 / neg / no baseline >50 / 0.90 / 0.80 No No None 0 / below detection / 0.80 (hematuria and proteinuria returned to baseline)
3 50 M HTN None No 24 h after second dose 11–25 / 2.40 / 1.17 >50 / 3.56 / 1.54 No Yes, kidney RAASi 11–25 / 2.20 / 1.24 (hematuria and proteinuria returned to baseline; SCr improving but above baseline)
4 67 M HTN RAASi No 1 mo after first dose 0–3 / 0.05 / 1.20 >50 / 2.10 / 2.90 Yes, bilateral lower extremity maculopapular rash Yes, skin Steroid 0–3 / 0.09 / 1.40 (hematuria and proteinuria returned to baseline; SCr improving but above baseline)

F, female; HTN, hypertension; M, male; neg, negative; MH, medical history; RAASi, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibition; SCr, serum creatinine (in mg/dL); uPCR, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.

Hematuria is expressed as number of red blood cells per high-powered field on urinalysis. None of the patients had episodes of gross hematuria before vaccination, and none were known to have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, although serologic testing before vaccination was not performed.
