Overview
HIV-positive patients should be screened for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Interventions in HIV-positive patients with renal disease should be done in order to slow the progress and prevent end stage renal disease (ESRD) and they should be referred to a nephrologist.
HIV Associated Nephropathy Prevention
- HIV-positive patients should be screened for chronic kidney disease (CKD) since it will improve the outcomes. Screening measurements for renal disorders are:
- Blood pressure measurment
- Checking of Cr and GFR (kidney function)
- Checking of proteinuria on urine examination
- Administration and monitoring of cART and/or ACE inhibitors/ARBs
- In patients with HIV associated nephropathy the following interventions should be done in order to slow the progress of kidney disease and prevent end stage renal disease (ESRD):
- Blood pressure control (ACE inhibitors or ARBs)
- Diabetes control
- Avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs
- Smoking cessation
- Dyslipidemia treatment
- HIV-positive patients with renal disease should be referred to a nephrologist for the following reasons:
- Early management of CKD
- Disease progression monitoring
- Monitoring of complications
- Preparation for dialysis
- Preparation for kidney transplantation
- Kidney biopsy is an essential tool for evaluation and identification of HIV-associated and other kidney diseases in HIV-positive patients, which is important in the management and treatment of the patients.
