背景和目的：人类免疫缺陷病毒相关性肾病（HIVAN）是非洲裔HIV患者慢性肾衰竭的最常见原因。它通常表现为蛋白尿，肾脏肿大和快速进行性肾衰竭，通常持续数周至数月。我们进行了这项研究，以确定艾滋病毒在我国艾滋病病毒感染者中的患病率。设计和设置：横断面观察性研究，在一个转诊中心，涵盖1990- 2010年。方法：采用蛋白尿和估计肾小球滤过率（e-GFR）来识别肾脏疾病和可疑病例，蛋白尿和e-GFR异常，
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is the most common cause of chronic renal failure in HIV patients with African descent. It usually presents with proteinuria, enlarged kidneys, and rapidly progressive renal failure, often over several weeks to months. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence of HIVAN in our HIV population.DESIGN AND SETTINGS: Cross-sectional observational study in a referral center covering the period of 1990-2010.METHODS: Proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) were used to identify renal disease and suspicious cases of HIVAN with abnormal proteinuria and e-GFR of
