title: Glomerulonephritis associated with acute hepatitis B.
abstract: Acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has very rarely been associated with glomerulonephritis. We describe a case of post-infections glomerulonephritis associated with acute HBV infection. The kidney disease resolved concomitantly with the hepatitis, and the patient recovered from acute HBV infection.
