  • Title: Interferon induced glomerular disease in a patient with chronic hepatitis C.
    Author: Suresh RL, Suryati Y, Merican I.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2003 Oct; 58(4):594-6. PubMed ID: 15190636.
    Abstract:
    Chronic hepatitis C manifests with many extrahepatic features including renal involvement. However, less commonly, interferon therapy for chronic hepatitis C can also result in renal involvement and we describe a case when interferon therapy resulted in minimal change glomerulopathy, a form of involvement which, carries a good prognosis. Our patient developed nephrotic syndrome while on interferon therapy and HCV RNA levels were undetectable at that time. The disease showed excellent response to steroid therapy.
