Abstract
SummaryRenal involvement has been frequently reported in the setting of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The most common renal pathology associated with chronic HCV infection is type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with type II mixed cryoglobulinemia, while membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis without cryoglobulinemia and membranous nephropathy were less frequently reported. Rarely, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, fibrillary and immunotactoid glomerulopathies, and thrombotic microangiopathies were described during the course of HCV infection. In the present review, we have focused on renal involvement in HCV-related vasculitis.
