Abstract:
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is a typical manifestation of HCV infection, in most cases connected with cryoglobulinemia. Efficiacy of antiviral treatment with interferon and ribavirine in this group of patients is lower compared to the population without kidney disease. Another options of treatment are: use of rituximab (monoclonal antibody destroying lymphocytes B), low-antigen containing diet, plasmapheresis and immunosupressive treatment. Recommendations of antiviral treatment in HCV-infected patients with concomitant renal failure were presented.
