Other debilitating and potentially life-threatening diseases which disproportionately affect HIV-positive smokers include heart disease, stroke, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [americanaddictioncenters.org]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Because complex NBs (Types III to V) and various intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions present in Group A are often associated with viral invasion, their presence in kidneys of AIDS patients with proteinuria suggests a viral etiology for AAN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Preliminary studies in animals and humans suggest HIV can play a direct role causing this disease. There is evidence that HAART treatment has a beneficial effect on disease progression. [natap.org]
Corticosteroids A number of case reports have suggested that corticosteroids offer some short-term benefit in HIVAN. [20] In one report, results from a pretreatment and posttreatment kidney biopsy suggested that an improvement in renal function was associated [emedicine.com]
Additional small studies also suggest a benefit. [thebody.com]
Recent evidence suggests that HIV associated nephropathy will respond to HAART with a dramatic improvement in renal function. Conclusion: HIV associated nephropathy is a treatable condition. [sti.bmj.com]
Urogenital
- Kidney Failure
HIVAN presents with nephrotic syndrome and progressive kidney failure. Despite being a cause of chronic kidney failure, kidney sizes are usually normal or large. Abnormalities involve all components of the nephron. [en.wikipedia.org]
Acute kidney failure The kidneys are the most oxygensensitive organs in the body. [thebody.com]
Acute kidney failure. Available online at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kidney-failure/DS00280. Accessed March 2014. Mayo Clinic. Nephrotic syndrome. [labtestsonline.it]
Kidney problems can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. This can require dialysis or a kidney transplant. [aidsinfonet.org]
“So they are candidates for kidney transplant, which can give them normal renal function.” Amazingly, the failure rate for kidney transplants is no higher for HIV-positive patients than the general population. [nydailynews.com]

Dipstick UA is insensitive for microalbuminuria (albuminuria below level detected by conventional dipsticks). [hiv.va.gov]
Screening for microalbuminuria is essential for the early diagnosis and treatment of HIVAN because severity of the disease correlates significantly with low CD4. [panafrican-med-journal.com]

Serum
- Abnormal Renal Function
Background There is a high prevalence (30%) of abnormal renal function among patients with HIV disease. CKD is increasingly a cause of morbidity among people with HIV infection. [hiv.va.gov]
It does not require dose adjustment in patients with abnormal renal function. Dose adjustment should be made in patients receiving NRTIs when the glomerular filtration rate falls below 50 mL/min. [emedicine.com]
Treatment
General renoprotective measures and the treatment of the complications of nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure are adjunctive. Corticosteroid treatment can be useful in patients who do not respond to initial treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]
Several effective treatments for substance abuse exist. Many of these treatments can be given alongside antiretroviral therapies for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. [americanaddictioncenters.org]
Treatment for CKD HIV-positive patients who have or are at risk for CKD should have their treatment tailored to their needs and circumstances. [davita.com]
The risk of developing hypertension was maximally elevated (OR, 1.7) after >5 years of treatment with HAART, compared with the risk among HIV-infected patients who did not receive treatment (OR, 0.79) [ 44 ]. [academic.oup.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis is poor with patients (even those on HAART) developing ESRD. ESRD can be managed with renal dialysis. Transplantation is an option for patients but there is a risk of HIVAN recurring in the transplanted kidney. [radiopaedia.org]
Its prognosis is always poor, as it rapidly progresses to chronic kidney disease. There are no adequate data from randomised controlled trials. [en.wikipedia.org]
Patients with HIVAN usually have a poor prognosis. Histologically, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis is noted. Imaging: From the various studies available in literature, the following ultrasound features have been noted in HIVAN: 1. [sonoworld.com]

Etiology
Because complex NBs (Types III to V) and various intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions present in Group A are often associated with viral invasion, their presence in kidneys of AIDS patients with proteinuria suggests a viral etiology for AAN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Use Additional Use Additional Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]
Ultrastructurally, tubulo-reticular structures and unusual cytoplasmic inclusions, along with peculiar nuclear chromatin changes, are present which suggests a possible viral etiology in the genesis of HIVAN. [link.springer.com]
Patients who were older than 18 years of age, had evidence of HIV-1 infection and had biopsy-proven HIVAN as the etiology of their ESRD were included. [journals.plos.org]
Data from the HAART era are rare, although a recent study that evaluated the incidence and etiology in a prospective analysis of 754 HIV-infected patients reported an incidence of 5.9 cases of acute renal failure per 100 patient-years [ 1 ]. [academic.oup.com]
