Overview
History
Obtaining a complete history is an important aspect in making a clinical diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy. However, it often difficult to differentiate the diagnosis on clinical presentation alone, as other glomerular diseases may show similar clinical presentations. Thus it is important to obtain a kidney biopsy and perform laboratory tests to determine the diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy.
Symptoms
The initial symptoms that are seen in patients presenting with HIV-associated nephropathy are non specific in nature as other glomerular diseases may express similar clinical presentations. However, some patients may not express any symptoms earlier on. The following are symptoms that are seen in HIV-associated nephropathy:[1]
- Fatigue
- Malaise
- Anorexia
- Pruritus
