An uncommon cause of acute glomerulonephritis: Hepatitis A virus infection

Abstract

Glomerulonephritis is the most common cause of both acute and chronic renal disease. The most common cause of acute glomerulonephritis is post-streptococcal, although viruses have also been implicated. Acute hepatitis A is one of the most common infectious diseases; it is usually a mild and self-limiting disease affecting the liver, but it sometimes leads to severe complications such as prolonged cholestasis and fulminant hepatitis. Although extrahepatic manifestations are not common, some cases have been reported associated with acute glomerulonephritis. Acute viral hepatitis-associated glomerular diseases are usually caused by hepatitis B and C viruses. Hepatitis A virus as a cause of acute glomerulonephritis has rarely been reported in the pediatric population. In this report, we describe a patient with serologically documented hepatitis A virus infection, who presented with nephritic syndrome.
