Abstract
- Hepatitis A is usually a mild, non-fulminant, self-limiting disease of the liver. Acute renal failure, in associated with non-fulminant hepatitis A, is extremely rare and is rarely documented by kidney biopsy. Here we report the case of a 28-year old male with acute non-fulminant hepatitis A who developed acute renal failure early in the course of the disease and recovered without dialysis. In this report, renal biopsy was done. The renal biopsy showed acute tubular necrosis and IgA nephropathy. We discuss the mechanism responsible for renal failure in acute hepatitis A virus infection on the basis of presumed pathogenesis and renal biopsy.
