Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is one of the most important causes of progressive kidney failure in HIV-1-seropositive patients. Since the 1980s, much has been published regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of HIVAN. Our knowledge of the clinical features, pathologic manifestations, course, and potential outcome of HIVAN has increased considerably. The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy has shown significant improvement in the outcome of human immunodeficiency virus infection and is found to be effective in preventing end-stage renal disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize the data about the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and pathophysiologic mechanisms of HIVAN with particular attention on treatment including pharmaceutical and renal replacement options.

Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) has a severe course typically associated with viral infections, especially HIV and parvovirus B19, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), among other etiologies. A 35-year-old woman with recent use of a JAK inhibitor due to rheumatoid arthritis presented with a 2-week history of fever, cervical adenopathy, and facial erythema. After admission, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria, and severe acute kidney injury were noted.

The study aimed to assess the potential impacts of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and its determinants (cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance) on diabetic nephropathy (DNP)-associated impaired aortic function. This multi-ethnic study included 115 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (67 non-dialysis and 48 dialysis). Six aortic function measures were evaluated by SpygmoCor.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern that has greatly affected South Africa. The gap in the current management of DM has resulted in complications such as lower extremity amputations (LEAs) and death. Eastern Cape province reflects this struggle, with disparities in access to healthcare and poor health outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - A stage 4 HIV-infected patient presented with severe swelling and proteinuria, indicating potential kidney problems, but kidney biopsy ruled out typical HIV-related kidney disease.
- - The patient was treated with a combination of medications, leading to initial clinical improvement, but later developed pneumonia and chose not to be hospitalized.
- - This case highlights the need for more research on kidney diseases associated with HIV, aiming to improve management recommendations for affected individuals.
