Overview

Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect in making a clinical diagnosis of HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease. The initial symptoms that are seen in patients presenting with HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease are non specific in nature as other glomerular diseases may express similar clinical presentations.

History

Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect in making a clinical diagnosis of HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease. However, it often difficult to differentiate the diagnosis on clinical presentation alone, as other glomerular diseases may show similar clinical presentations. Thus it is important to obtain a kidney biopsy and perform laboratory tests to determine the diagnosis of HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease.

Symptoms

The initial symptoms that are seen in patients presenting with HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease are non specific in nature as other glomerular diseases may express similar clinical presentations. However, some patients may not express any symptoms earlier on. The following are symptoms that are seen in HIV Immune Complex Kidney Disease:
