Abstract:
Individuals with HIV are at increased risk for ESKD. Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for ESKD in the HIV+ population. Despite reduced access to transplantation, patients who are HIV+ have excellent outcomes and clearly benefit from receiving one. Common post-transplant complications and management concerns, including the optimal antiretroviral regimen, immunosuppression protocols, infectious prophylaxis, hepatitis C coinfection, metabolic complications, and malignancy are all discussed.
