Research advances in hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN) is the most common extrahepatic injury induced by chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which has been taken seriously by scholars in recent years. This article summarizes the research advances in related risk factors for HBV-GN, pathogenesis, and treatment. Since the diagnostic rate of HBV-GN is low and the sample size is small at present, there is still much space for research in this field. More clinical trials with good quality are needed in the future to investigate the therapeutic regimens for this disease.
