Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy include, high-grade proteinuria, elevated serum creatinine levels, hypoalbuniemia, hyperlipidemia, CD4 counts below 200 cells/mm3, hyaline casts, leukocytes, oval fat bodies, and microhematuria.

Laboratory Findings

Renal Biopsy

  • Renal biopsy is the standard in establishing a diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy.
  • Renal biopsy reveals focal segmental glomerulonephritis, significant tubulointerstitial injury and microcystic tubular dilation are characteristically seen. [1]
  • Renal biopsy is an essential tool for evaluation and identification of HIV-associated and other kidney diseases in HIV-positive patients, which is important in the management and treatment of the patients.[2]

Other Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of HIV-associated nephropathy include, high-grade proteinuria, elevated serum creatinine levels, hypoalbuniemia, hyperlipidemia, CD4 counts below 200 cells/mm3, hyaline casts, leukocytes, oval fat bodies, and microhematuria. Routine laboratory tests that may be ordered to help in identify HIV-associated nephropathy are:

Blood Work-up

  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Serum creatinine
  • Lipid profile
  • Albumin
  • ELISA
  • Dot blot
  • Latex agglutination test

Supplemental Test

  • Western blot
  • Immunofluorescence

Urinalysis

  • Proteinuria
  • Microhematuria
  • Leukocytes
  • Oval fat bodies
  • Hyaline casts
