The article presents a case study of a 57-year-old woman who had proteinuria and microscopic haematuria, with a 3-year history of hypertension. She was found to have a pitting oedema in the lower extremities based on the result on physical examination results. She was then diagnosed with hepatitis b-related membranous nephropathy (MN). Moreover, the patient was treated entecavir at o.5 milligrams per day without angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker.
