Overview
Causes
Currently there are no known established causes of HIV-associated nephropathy. However, the genetic component, a key to the pathogenesis of the disease in blacks but not in other races is a factor that is seen in HIV-associated nephropathy. Another cause for HIV-associated nephropathy is the lack of a deletion mutation of CCR5 or CCR2, which is protective form HIV-1 infection.[1]
Other factors that are attributed to the development of HIV-associated nephropathy is the use of intravenous drugs, however, this is inconclusive as patients with HIV-associated nephropathy are not all intravenous drug users.
