AASLD guidelines: lamivudine and telbivudine not preferred due to relatively high rate of resistance. Adefovir not preferred due to weak antiviral activity and relatively high rate of resistance in HBeAg-negative studies.

14 Key Messages: HBV GN OTHER VIRUSES Membranous nephropathy is the commonest GN related to HBV PLA2 R ab may be positive Antiviral therapy may be associated with improvement of proteinuria/ckd progression Immunosuppression may be associated with HBV reactivation and severe liver disease (unknown if IS helps control the disease) Hantavirus Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (Europe/Asia) Cardiopulmonary syndrome (Americas) Small mammals are the reservoir Worldwide distribution Flulike symptoms, followed by shock, low platelets AKI in up to 90% of patients. 5-15% mortality Direct endothelial damage and interstitial inflammation Ribavirin may reduce mortality Kidney International (2013) 83, 23 14
