Abstract:
Hepatitis B associated with glomerulonephritis (HB-GN) has been increasing year after yea-r Tehispaper reports 24 cases of HE-GN treated between 1979 and 1984 whose clinical manifesta tion(?)the laboratory data confirmed the diagnosis. Our observations show that HB is mor often associated with extrahepatic lesions, sometimes appearing as the initial disorder or syndrome, including glomerulonephritis, carditis, arthritins, gastrocntentis and/or serum sickness, etc. HB-GN is also a kind of immune complex GN, whose pathogenesis is usually associatede with chronic active hepatitis, especially a decrease in the immune function of the Patient. Complex treatment, including liver Protection and immune stimulant treatment (blood and/or Plasma transfusion, thymosin, or levamisole)could give a better therapeutic effect.
