Abstract
- Chronic HCV infection has been reported to be associated with several extrahepatic conditions such as cryoglobulinemia, lymphoma, lichen planus, porphyria cutanea tarda, autoimmune thyroiditis, and renal disease. Glomerular disease may occur in patients with chronic HCV infection. The most common patterns are membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and less frequently, membranous nephropathy, fibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glomerulopathy. Few crescentic glomerulonephritis has been reported in association with HCV infection, and no case was reported in Korea yet. We experienced one case of rapidly progressive glomeruloinephritis with the pathology of crescentic glomerulonephritis complicated in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a patient with HCV infection.
