  • Title: Rapid reversal of renal failure after initiation of HAART: a case report.
    Author: Scheurer D.
    Journal: AIDS Read; 2004 Aug; 14(8):443-7. PubMed ID: 15338525.
    Abstract:
    HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), characterized by proteinuria and progressive renal failure, is a well-known complication of HIV infection. Treatment of the condition has focused on the use of corticosteroids, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and HAART, all of which can improve the prognosis. Although there are a few case reports of improvement of renal function after the initiation of HAART, this treatment has not been studied in a prospective fashion, and the timing of the improvement is not well documented. Presented here is a case of rapid reversal of end-stage renal failure after the initiation of HAART in a person with biopsy-proven HIVAN.
