Acute Renal Failure in Hepatitis B Virus-Related Membranous Nephropathy With Mesangiocapillary Transition and Crescentic Transformation

We report the first case of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related membranous nephropathy (MN) that progressed to crescentic transformation superimposed on a mixed membranous and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. The patient developed acute renal failure, which partially responded to pulse methylpredni...

Zusammenfassung:	We report the first case of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related membranous nephropathy (MN) that progressed to crescentic transformation superimposed on a mixed membranous and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. The patient developed acute renal failure, which partially responded to pulse methylprednisolone therapy, and subsequently recovered after plasma exchange.
