AbstractBackground. Although lamivudine is effective for treatment of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection, its potential therapeutic impact on HBV-related membranous nephropathy (MN) in adults has not been characterized. Methods. We treated 10 HBsAg-positive patients with biopsy-proven MN, elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and HBV-DNAemia (group 1), and compared their clinical course with 12 patients diagnosed to have HBV infection, elevated serum ALT, and MN in the pre-lamivudine era (group 2). Results. Baseline demographic and clinical parameters were not different between the 2 groups. In group 1, lamivudine treatment was associated with significant reduction in proteinuria, increase in serum albumin, normalization of ALT levels, and disappearance of circulating HBV-DNA during the first year. Four (40%) and 6 (60%) patients went into complete remission (proteinuria <0.3 g/d) at 6 and 12 months, respectively. In group 2, significant proteinuria persisted during the first year. One (8.3%) and 3 (25%) patients went into remission. Cumulative 3-year renal survival [using end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as primary end point] was 100% in group 1 and 58% in group 2 (P = 0.024, log rank test). Blood pressure control reached the target of below 130/85 mm Hg in both groups. Lamivudine was well tolerated and not associated with any adverse events. Hepatic decompensation or malignancy was not observed during follow-up in both groups. Conclusion. HBV-related MN leads to ESRD in a significant proportion of patients before the advent of antiviral therapy. Lamivudine treatment improves renal outcome in HBV carriers with MN and evidence of liver disease. © 2005 by the International Society of Nephrology.
