The treatment of mixed cryoglobulinemia concurrent with HCV infection is still under debate. We report the case of a patient referred to our unit for a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with HCV infection. A nephrotic syndrome and a slight reduction of glomerular filtration rate were present. We treated him with alpha-interferon for six months and prednisone for two months. We achieved a remission of the nephrotic syndrome without any significant reduction of the viral load. One year after the therapy had been suspended, the nephrotic syndrome relapsed and subsequently responded to a combined treatment with interferon ribavirin and prednisone. HCV-RNA became suddenly and persistently negative. |
