Rare occurrence of type lll membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a patient with hepatitis C in sustained virologic response phase

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is known to cause acute and chronic active hepatitis. In addition, HCV also has systemic disorder involvement that links to various extra-hepatic complications. We report a case of a patient which has been diagnosed to have Hepatitis C Genotype 3A who has been start...
