| Popis: | Acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease are more common in HIV-infected patients compared with the general population. Several studies have shown age to be a risk factor for HIV-associated kidney disease. The improved life expectancy of HIV-infected patients as a result of widespread use of antiretroviral therapy has resulted in progressive aging of HIV cohorts in the developed world, and an increased burden of cardiovascular and kidney disease. Consequently, HIV care increasingly needs to incorporate strategies to detect and manage these non-infectious co-morbidities. |
