Of the 92 patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who were seen over a 2-yr period, 9 acquired the nephrotic syndrome (urinary protein > 3.5 g/24 h) and 2 had azotemia with lesser amounts of urinary protein. Of these 11 patients, 5 had a history of i.v.-heroin addiction, but in the remaining 6 there were no known predisposing factors for nephropathy. In 9 patients (including the 6 non-addicts) the course of renal disease was marked by rapid progression to severe uremia. Renal tissue examined by biopsy in 7 patients and at autopsy in 3 revealed focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis with intraglomerular deposition of IgM and C3 [complement component 3]. In the 11th patient, renal biopsy revealed an increase in mesangial matrix and cells, with deposition of IgG and C3 consistent with a mild immune-complex glomerulonephritis and severe interstitial nephritis. Thus, local and segmental glomerulosclerosis may be associated with AIDS. Rapid deterioration to uremia may characterize this renal disease.
