LASIERRA-LAVILLA, Ignacio; PERONA-CARO, Amalia; DEL AGUA-ARIAS-CAMISON, Celia e CABALLERO-CASTRO, Julien Paola. Management of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to infection by hepatitis C virus. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.3, e1055. Epub 18-Mar-2024. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.1055.
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is an uncommon condition that affects the glomeruli of the kidneys; its prevalence has decreased in our environment. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has a characteristic histology that can be associated to different diseases. The clinical presentation varies, and to achieve a definitive diagnosis a renal biopsy must be done. Treatment is based on the underlying disease; when a drop in glomerular filtration rate is detected, immunosuppressants are prescribed.
We describe the management of a 47-year-old female with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to hepatitis C virus infection, a condition with very low prevalence.
