Most widely accepted mechanism associated with nephropathy in chronic HBV patients is: 
Select and explain. 
A. Cytopathic collisions induced by cellular virus infection, B. Deposition of immune complex paicles attributed to viral antigens and host antibodies, C. Virus-induced specific immunological mechanisms damaging the kidney, D. Indirect adverse effects of virus-induced cytokines or mediators in renal tissue.
B: Deposition of immune complex paicles attributed to viral antigens and host antibodies
Answer: B: Deposition of immune complex paicles attributed to viral antigens and host antibodies 
Explanation: HBV can cause renal damage in many ways. The different pathogenesis are described as the cause for it. They are, 1. Cytopathic collisions induced by cellular virus infection 2. Deposition of immune complex paicles attributed to viral antigens and host antibodies 3. Virus-induced specific immunological mechanisms damaging the kidney 4. Indirect adverse effects of virus-induced cytokines or mediators in renal tissue The immunopathogenic mechanism is the most widely accepted mechanism that is described as the deposition of immune complexes of viral antigens and host antibodies.
