ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a frequent complication of HIV infection. The classic involvement of the kidney by HIV infection is HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), occurring typically in young adults of African ancestry with advanced HIV disease in association with APOL1 high-risk variants. HIV-immune complex disease is histologically the second most common diagnosis. With the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), there has been a decline in the incidence of HIVAN, with an increasing prevalence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Several studies have demonstrated overall improvement in kidney function with initiation of ART. Many antiretroviral medications are partially or completely eliminated by the kidney and require dose adjustment in CKD. HIV-positive patients requiring either hemo- or peritoneal dialysis, who are stable on ART, are achieving survival rates comparable to those of dialysis patients without HIV infection. Kidney transplantation has been performed successfully in HIV-positive patients; graft and patient survival is similar to that of HIV-negative recipients. Early detection of kidney disease by implementation of screening on diagnosis of HIV infection and annual screening thereafter will have an impact on the burden of disease, together with access to ART. Programs for prevention of HIV infection are essential.
