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:

• 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
