  • Title: HBV associated nephrotic syndrome: resolution with oral lamivudine.
    Author: Connor FL, Rosenberg AR, Kennedy SE, Bohane TD.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 2003 May; 88(5):446-9. PubMed ID: 12716723.
    Abstract:
    A 6 year old boy presenting with a five month history of fever, lethargy, and anorexia, was found to have hepatitis B associated membranous glomerulonephropathy and nephrotic syndrome. After two months treatment with oral lamivudine, his proteinuria cleared and serum albumin and aminotransferases normalised, associated with disappearance of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and appearance of anti-HBeAg antibodies. After 12 months, without side effects, lamivudine was discontinued. He remains well 11 months off treatment.
