Abstract

Kidney disease is a complication that is observed in 10%?30% of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and is a common cause of morbidity and mortality [1],[2]. In Mexico, an estimated 175,093 HIV-infected individuals are included in national registries [3]. The increased survival of HIV-infected patients has changed the course of the disease, with renal complications related to HIV now the fourth most common cause of mortality [4].
