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 methylprednisolone therapy, and subsequently recovered after plasma exchange.
