Core Tip

Core tip: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is found to be frequently associated with proteinuria, various glomerulopathies and higher risk of end-stage renal disease. HCV positivity has been linked to decreased graft and patient survivals after kidney transplantation. Treatment of HCV infection is a great clinical challenge in kidney transplant patients and in patients with diminished kidney function. In this review, we aimed to review kidney involvement in the course of HCV infection and treatment of HCV-associated glomerulopathies.
