Abstract
Acute renal failure has been documented in association with hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. This report describes a temporal relationship between HAV infection and immune complex mesangial proliferative glom erulonephritis associated with nephrotic syndrome. Animal experimental data have already shown that this is indeed a histological lesion ass ociated with HAV infection. This case report is the first English docu mentation associating HAV infection with immune complex mesangial prol iferative glomerulonephritis.
