Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to glomerulonephritis.
  • HBV-associated glomerulonephritis encompasses various histological types, including membranous and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

Observation:

  • This report details three cases of biopsy-proven HBV-related glomerulonephritis.
  • Clinical courses were observed, with a focus on spontaneous remission and serological changes.

Findings:

  • Two out of three patients achieved spontaneous remission following seroconversion to anti-HBe-positivity.
  • One patient was lost to follow-up, preventing complete outcome assessment.

Implications:

  • Avoid immunosuppressive therapy in HBV-associated glomerulonephritis.
  • Spontaneous remission is a potential outcome, suggesting conservative management is preferred.
