  • Title: Human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy: a primary care perspective.
    Author: Olatinwo T, Hewitt RG, Venuto RC.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 2004 Feb 09; 164(3):333-6. PubMed ID: 14769631.
    Abstract:
    The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy represents a significant advance in medical care for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. However, not everyone has derived the expected benefits of antiretroviral therapy and HIV-associated diseases such as nephropathy still occur in at-risk populations. Currently, there are no recommendations for screening HIV-positive patients for HIV-associated nephropathy. We propose semiannual screening for proteinuria in HIV-positive African Americans and patients with a family history of renal disease, and provide an algorithm for evaluation.
