Human immunodeficiency virus nephropathy (HIVN) presents with proteinuria and kidney damage, often progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Treatment options for ESRD in HIVN patients remain challenging and controversial.

Area of Science:

Nephrology
Infectious Diseases
Pathology

Background:

Human immunodeficiency virus nephropathy (HIVN) is a significant complication in HIV-infected individuals.
Key features include proteinuria, progressive azotemia, and characteristic kidney pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the varying components and pathological lesions of HIVN.
To review diagnostic criteria and treatment challenges for HIVN.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical and pathological findings in HIVN patients.
Analysis of diagnostic markers such as proteinuria and albuminuria.
Examination of histological and electron microscopy findings.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Focal and segmental sclerosis (FS/FSS) is the most characteristic lesion in adults, while children may present with varied histological findings.

Interstitial findings include dilated tubules and tubular atrophy.

Tubuloreticular inclusion bodies are common on electron microscopy.

Conclusions:

HIVN is characterized by distinct clinical and pathological features, with FS/FSS being prominent in adults.
Management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in HIVN is complex, with dialysis and transplantation outcomes being variable and controversial.
