Article Synopsis
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause extrahepatic issues like reactive arthritis, vasculitis, and different types of glomerulonephritis, but there are no specific histological patterns linked to Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections.
  • For HBV-related kidney problems, antiviral treatment is the main approach; corticosteroids are generally ineffective (except for panarteritis nodosa), and immunosuppressants risk worsening HBV.
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can induce cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, and its treatment may involve a mix of immunomodulatory agents and antiviral therapy.
