Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic and lymphotropic virus responsible for hepatic and extrahepatic autoimmune and neoplastic disorders, including renal involvement, which is the consequence of immune-mediated organ damage due to glomerular deposition of immune-complex and/or anti-HCV IgG antibodies and complement. It can appear at any time during the natural history of HCV infection, more often as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, alone or in association with other HCV-related disorders. The presence of renal involvement should be investigated in HCV-infected individuals at the first referral and during clinical follow-up.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic and lymphotropic virus responsible for hepatic and extrahepatic autoimmune and neoplastic disorders, including renal involvement, which is the consequence of immune-mediated organ damage due to glomerular deposition of immune-complex and/or anti-HCV IgG antibodies and complement. It can appear at any time during the natural history of HCV infection, more often as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, alone or in association with other HCV-related disorders. The presence of renal involvement should be investigated in HCV-infected individuals at the first referral and during clinical follow-up.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
