Abstract

A 45-year old developed membranoproliferative GN seven years after acute hepatitis. He was found to be a chronic carrier of HBsAg, and glomeruli contained granular deposits of immunoglobulins (Ig), complement (C) and HBsAg. Six months later, HN persisted, but HBsAg has disappeared from glomeruli; Ig and C were still present. It was concluded that GN was probably due to a hepatitis B associated antigen, but not necessarily to HBsAg.
