title: Asymptomatic HIV patient with cardiomyopathy and nephropathy: case report and literature review.
abstract: We report a previously asymptomatic HIV patient with high CD4 lymphocyte count and low HIV1 viral load who developed cardiac and renal disease. Management with ACE inhibitor, diuretics and triple antiretroviral combination therapy yielded a rapid clinical response. An understanding of the spectrum of renal and cardiac derangements is essential for clinicians in managing patients with HIV disease.
