Abstract:
Renal involvement in association with nonfulminant hepatitis A virus (HAV) infections have been reported infrequently and when present have been characterized by mild proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and slight urinary sediment abnormalities. Acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome are extremely rare complications. This report describes a case of acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome following a nonfulminant course of HAV infection with biopsy proven immunoglobulin A nephropathy. The cause of acute renal failure in this case is primarily due to tubulointerstitial nephritis secondary to pigment toxicity.

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
