title: Renal complications in HIV disease.
abstract: Renal consequences of HIV disease are diverse: some unique attributable to HIV infection per se and some coincidental reflecting the nature and severity of underlying primary illness. In addition, renal sequelae may also be iatrogenic, owing to a variety of therapeutic agents employed in the management of HIV infection. Renal failure from any cause, both reversible (acute) and irreversible (ESRD), contributes greatly to morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected patients. An understanding of the spectrum of renal derangements is essential for clinicians to manage patients with HIV disease better.
