This is a case report of a 35-year-old female who showed a relatively short clinical course of severe liver cirrhosis and proteinuria. On light microscopical studies of autopsy material, besides active postnecrotic type liver cirrhosis, typical membranous glomerulonephritis was found. Immunofluorescent study disclosed not only clustered HBsAg (hepatitis type B surface antigen) in occasional hepatic cells but also beaded granular type deposition of HBsAg, IgG, IgM, IgA and complement C3 along renal glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Electron microscopical study disclosed multiple particulated material in occasional inclusion bodies of hepatic cells and in subepithelial and subendothelial dense deposits along the GBM. Enzymatic immunoelectron microscopical study confirmed these particles especially along the GBM being HBsAg themselves. It was concluded that HBsAg-Ab (antibody) complex was the pathogenetic factor responsible for the glomerular change of this particular case. Although HBsAg and Ab were examined to be negative in serum throughout the patient's clinical course, the possibility of the presence of circulating HBsAg-Ab complex in serum was discussed.
