Overview
Epidemiology
Prevalence
The prevalence of HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) in the population of patients with African descent has been reported as 3% to 12%.
The prevalence of HIV-associated nephropathy in the United States and in Western European countries is estimated to range form 3 to 12 percent each year. The prevalence rate of HIV-associated neohropathy in children is estimated to be 10 to 15 percent each year. Though, there has been a decline in the incidences of HIV-associated nephropathy thank in part to the advent of HAART theraphy, which prolongs renal survival time.
Incidence
The incidence of HIV-associated nephropathy in the United States is estimated to be around 800 to 900 new cases per year.
Demographics
Age
The average age at which patients are affected with HIV-associated nephropathy has been reported to be around 40.8 years of age in a study.
Gender
HIV-associated nephropathy affects men more than women.
Race
HIVAN is mostly seen in patients of African descent.
