Patients with HIV infection and end-stage renal disease. 1996

There has been a steady increase in the number of dialysis patients with human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) infection. HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in this patient population. Although the major potential category of risk of HIV transmission is from the dialysis patient to staff, there are no data to indicate that this has occurred. Dialysis of patients with HIV infection is challenging and requires effective care to prolong survival.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
