• 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]

• 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]

  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]

• 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]

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]
