Since the COVID-19 outbreak has started, many reports showed that COVID-19 does not affect only the respiratory system but can alter multiple organs including kidneys Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (anti-GBM) is a systemic disease affecting mainly kidneys and lungs It can sometimes be triggered by a respiratory infection such as influenza however the mechanism is not clear yet We describe a novel case of Anti-GBM disease possibly complicating COVID-19 We report a case of a 63-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for fever and myalgia and was found to have COVID-19 During hospitalization, he developed kidney injury along with pulmonary hemorrhage and was found to have anti-GBM antibodies Our patient was treated as a case of Anti-GBM disease potentially triggered by COVID-19 Hence, the anti-GBM disease could be a potential complication of COVID-19
