Background. Hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐related infection is commonly associated with a wide range of glomerulonephritides (GN) including membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). The causal link between HCV infection and renal disease has been postulated through the induction of cryoglobulinaemia and secondary GN. However, the detection of viral particles or genomes within the kidneys of HCV‐infected patients has proved to be difficult. With that in mind, we have studied a population of Egyptian HCV‐positive patients with associated GN in an attempt to detect viral particles, antigens or RNA within their kidneys.
