Novel treatment (new drug/intervention; established drug/procedure in new situation)
Hepatitis B virus related membranous glomerulonephritis and proteinuria treated with lamivudine and tenofovir
Summary
Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common histological renal lesion associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The authors describe here a case of a patient presenting with the nephrotic syndrome and HBV infection but without progressive liver disease. The use of lamivudine and tenofovir resulted in arrest of proteinuria and stabilisation of renal function.
