[HIV infection and associated kidney disease].

A wide spectrum of kidney diseases is observed in patients with HIV infection and renal involvement. After the introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment (ART), the survival of patients has increased and the pattern of chronic kidney diseases changed. There has been a reduction in the prevalence of diseases more strictly related to HIV infection and an increase in comorbid conditions like diabetic nephropathy, nephroangiosclerosis, HCV hepatitis and drug-related tubulointerstitial nephritis, in particular related to antiretroviral drugs.
