Human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a growing cause of kidney disease in HIV-1 patients, particularly affecting Black individuals. Early detection and understanding its pathogenesis are crucial for managing this condition and preventing end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Virology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a significant clinical and pathological condition.
  • It is characterized by proteinuria, azotemia, and specific histological findings in the kidneys.
  • HIVAN is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease in HIV-1 positive individuals, with increasing incidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the clinicopathological characteristics of HIVAN.
  • To discuss the current understanding of HIVAN pathogenesis.
  • To review existing and potential treatment modalities for HIVAN.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinicopathological findings in HIVAN.
  • Analysis of studies involving transgenic mouse models, renal cell cultures, and human biopsy materials.

  • Examination of the roles of HIV proteins, cytokines (TGF-β, bFGF), and treatment interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • HIVAN presents with proteinuria, azotemia, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, acute tubular necrosis, and interstitial inflammation.
    • The condition can rapidly progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
    • Studies suggest a role for HIV proteins and cytokines in renal epithelium damage.

    Conclusions:

    • HIVAN is a critical complication of HIV-1 infection, disproportionately affecting Black individuals.
    • Further research into pathogenesis is needed, with ongoing investigations into the roles of viral proteins and cytokines.
    • Current treatment options, including corticosteroids, zidovudine, and ACE inhibitors, offer modest success, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic strategies.
