Association of IgA Nephropathy with Hepatitis C
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Case report of 21years old male who presented with fatigue,oliguria and generalised edema. Further investigations revealed proteinuria in the tune of 6gm/day and microscopic hematuria. Renal biopsy was done which gave impression of Mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with IgA deposits suggestive of IgAN (Berger disease). To assess the cause of IgA nephropathy,screening was performed which was normal except for Hepatitis C positive with genotype '3'. Patient was put on oral Daclatasvir and sofosbuvir which led to marked reduction in proteinuria after 12 weeks of treatment. It was assumed that Hepatitis C manifested as IgAN. Therefore this case highlights the possibility of association between Hepatitis C and IgAN (Berger's disease).
