Abstract |
Acute A viral hepatitis is a mild, self-limiting disease of liver and acute renal failure (ARF) is a rare complication. We report two cases of chronic renal failure (CRF) in nonfulminant acute A viral hepatitis and ARF. A 40-year-old man was admitted with ARF and acute A viral hepatitis, and underwent temporary hemodialysis therapy. The renal biopsy showed acute tubular necrosis with tubulointerstitial nephritis. At 13 months after discharge serum creatinine was 1.33 mg/dL and protein-creatinine ratio of spot urine was 0.47 (mg/mg Cr). The second case was a 28-year-old man and was managed conservatively.
At discharge the serum creatinine was 3.14 mg/dL and the urinalysis showed hematuria, and protein-creatinine ratio 0.56 (mg/mg Cr). Thirty-nine months after discharge, the creatinine was 1.23 mg/dL, the urinalysis showed persistent nephritis findings and the protein-creatinine ratio 1.28.
Kidney biopsy revealed the membranous glomerulopathy with mild tubulointerstitial nephritis, and all of findings suggested the systemic disease-associated secondary glomerulopathy. To our knowledge our case is the first one of chronic glomerulapathy that is confirmed by kidney biopsy. |
