HIV/AIDS and HIV nephropathy.
HIV is a profound disease. The impact of HIV on the renal system is also profound, requiring nephrology nurses to have an increased awareness and understanding of the challenges and issues facing HIV-infected patients. Comorbid conditions, such as anemia, HIVAN, and even stress can further impair an already compromised patient. The nephrology nurse can provide meaningful and efficacious care through an enhanced knowledge of drug and treatment interventions known to improve outcomes in HIV.
