Collapsing glomerulopathy associated with hepatitis B infection: A case report

M Mantan et al. Indian J Nephrol. 2016 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Collapsing glomerulopathy has been classified as a variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. It is associated with infections, inflammations, and certain medications. While its association with human immunodeficiency virus has been well established its occurrence with hepatitis B has not been reported. We present here a case of collapsing glomerulopathy in a child with hepatitis B infection.

Keywords: Collapsing glomerulopathy; hepatitis B infection; lamivudine.
