[HIV infection and the kidneys (part I)].
HIV- (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infected patients may be faced with a variety of renal problem patterns. Acute renal failure is common and most often the result of sepsis, hypertension, and toxic agents. Besides acute renal failure, HIV-associated nephropathy occurs in many HIV-positive patients, representing a unique pattern of sclerosing glomerulopathy. Many authors consider it to be the most rapidly progressive form of focal segmental sclerosis.
