HIV and the kidney

October

The association between HIV and kidney disease was first noted in 1984, when reports emerged of HIV-infected individuals who exhibited nephrotic-range proteinuria and rapid progression to end-stage renal disease. A wide spectrum of renal disorders is now known to occur in patients with HIV. In this Focus issue, leading experts from around the world discuss four of the most important issues surrounding HIV-related kidney disease in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Encompassing epidemiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment in both developed and developing countries, this Focus provides a valuable and cutting-edge resource for clinicians and researchers.

An NPG library of relevant Practice Points, Viewpoints, Perspectives, Reviews, Original research and Case Studies is also provided.
