Abstract:
A patient who developed oliguric acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome within 2 weeks after finishing interferon and ribavirin treatment is reported. At presentation, HCV PCR was negative, and no immunological laboratory test was found altered. A renal biopsy showed collapsing glomerulopathy, and the patient received supportive haemodialysis and high-dose steroids. Twelve days after steroid treatment, renal function started to recover. After 18 weeks, normal renal function and protein/creatinine urinary ratio were achieved and remained normal up to 1-year post-treatment.
