Core Tip	Renal involvement with hepatitis B and C is well described. However, the mechanism of hepatitis A-associated acute renal failure (ARF) is uncertain. Although the prognosis of hepatitis A is generally good, complication with ARF can have a negative impact. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a predictive factor for acute liver failure. Fulminant hepatic failure patients with high serum HGF have high mortality. By contrast, HGF is also an important factor accelerating tissue regeneration of injured organs, including the liver and kidneys. Here, we describe a patient with acute hepatitis A who achieved a favorable outcome despite complications with both ARF and high serum HGF.
