Abstract
Abstract
This chapter discusses the continued high prevalence of renal disease in persons with HIV and the broad pathologic spectrum of renal disease, including medication-induced renal injury. It also allows the learner to understand the importance of screening and monitoring people with HIV for chronic kidney disease. Other topics discussed are the indications for nephrology referral and renal biopsy and potential targets of intervention for HIV-associated renal diseases. Treatment options for people with HIV who have end-stage renal disease, including dialysis and solid organ transplant, are also covered.
