Abstract
The most well-described renal disease associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is membranous glomerulonephritis; membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is described much less frequently. The course of HBV-associated renal disease after liver transplantation has not been described to date. We present a 15-year-old girl with HBV-associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and end-stage liver disease, in whom, after cadaver liver transplantation, clinical and histological resolution of renal disease was observed. Resolution was associated with diminution of circulating HBV surface antigen levels.Entities:
