Overview
HIV-associated nephropathy must be differentiated form other diseases that cause focal segmental glomerulonephritis, high grade proteinuria, and elevated serum creatinine levels.
Differential Diagnosis
HIV-associated nephropathy must be differentiated form other diseases that cause focal segmental glomerulonephritis, high grade proteinuria, and elevated serum creatinine levels.
Differentiating HIV-Associated Nephropathy from Other Diseases
Glomerular disease that present with similar characteristics of HIV-associated nephropathy must be differentiated from other glomerular disease that may occur in patients that are HIV-1 affected. They are:[1]
- Focal segmental glomerulonephritis
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Membranous nephropathy
- Postinfectious glomerulonephritis
- Lupus nephritis
- Antiglomerular basement membrane disease
- ANCA-associated vasculitis
- IgA nephropathy
- HIV-1 associated immune complex disease
- Minimal change nephropathy
- Thrombotic microangiopathy
- Renal amyloidosis
- Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
