Clinical Case of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis with Thrombotic Microangiopathy in an Adolescent without Hepatitis C Virus

Abstract

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is often associated with hepatitis C virus infection and an increased risk of thrombosis. However, rare cases of MPGN with manifestations of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) without involvement of a viral agent have been reported. The presented clinical case illustrates such an atypical combination of pathology in an adolescent, which requires a special approach to diagnosis and treatment.
