Association between renal function and co-infection with Clonorchis sinensis and Helicobacter pylori: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have shown that liver fluke infections may be associated with kidney injury and that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) may be involved in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. However, no studies have reported the relationship between co-infection with Clonorchis sinensis (Cs) and Hp and renal function.
