[HIV infection es IgA nephropathy]
Abstract
Similar immunological abnormalities exist in IgA nephropathy and HIV infection and several IgA nephropathy cases were reported in HIV-infected patients. To estimate the number of HIV-infected patients in IgA nephropathy, 80 patients with IgA nephropathy were studied for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody seropositivity. Although they failed to detect HIV positivity among their IgA nephropathy patients, because of the increasing number of people are being infected with HIV, the screening of IgA nephropathy patients for HIV infection would warrant.
