N2 - Infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) is associated with a variety of well‐known renal diseases like IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and haemolytic uraemic syndrome. HIV‐associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is now being recognized as a distinct clinico‐pathological entity that presents with proteinuria in the nephrotic range and impairment of renal function [1]. Untreated, HIVAN caries a poor prognosis and invariably leads to end‐stage renal failure within months. The most striking finding on renal biopsy is collapsing focal glomerulosclerosis, but all renal compartments are essentially affected. [...]
