HIV Nephropathy Tuesday Morning Disease Review December 5, 2006 Edmund Huang, M.D.
Objectives • Overview of HIV-associated renal diseases • Discuss the nephrotoxicity of antiretroviral therapy agents • Review therapeutic options for patients with HIV-associated renal disease, including the effect of HAART on the incidence of HIV-associated renal diseases • Understand the risks, benefits, and ethical issues associated with kidney transplantation in HIV-positive patients
HIV-Associated Renal Diseases • Acute Renal Failure • Nephrotoxic drugs (aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, foscarnet, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, adefovir, tenofovir, indinavir, acyclovir) • TTP/HUS • Chronic Renal Failure • HIVAN (HIV-associated nephropathy) • Immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis (IgA nephritis, MPGN, membranous, fibrillary, immunotactoid glomerulopathy)
Nephrotoxicity of Antiretroviral Agents • Protease Inhibitors • Indinavir: nephrolithiasis, crystalluria, dysuria, papillary necrosis, and acute renal failure related to interstitial nephritis • Ritonavir: case reports of reversible renal failure; most reports had concomitant administration of nephrotoxic agents or underlying renal pathology • Saquinavir and nelfinavir: single case reports suggesting possible etiologic role in inducing renal calculi (analysis of a urinary stone revealed 99% composition of nelfinavir) • Atazanavir: single case report of interstitial nephritis and reversible acute renal failure; renal biopsy showed HIVAN and patient was receiving concomitant nephrotoxic drugs
Nephrotoxicity of Antiretroviral Agents • Nucleotide Reverse-Transcriptase Inhibitors • Tenofovir: Fanconi’s syndrome, mild elevation in creatinine • Adefovir: ARF less frequent with lower dosages (30 mg/day) and reversible with dose reduction or cessation of medication; hematuria • Cidofovir: dose-dependent renal toxicity; Fanconi’s syndrome
Nephrotoxicity of Antiretroviral Agents • Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors • Didanosine and Lamivudine-Stavudine treatment associated with tubular dysfunction and Fanconi-like syndrome • Abacavir: ARF; one report of biopsy-proven interstitial nephritis
Nephrotoxicity of Antiretroviral Agents • Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor • Efavirenz: 1 case of hypersensitivity involving pneumonitis, hepatitis, and interstitial nephritis, with symptoms recurring after a rechallenge • HIV-1 Fusion Inhibitor • Enfuvirtide: binds to gp41 of HIV-1 and inhibits fusion of the virus to the membrane of CD4 cells • 1 patient with history of diabetes, proteinuria, and hematuria developed MPGN
HIV-Associated Nephropathy (HIVAN) • Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) • Severe cystic tubular lesions • Tubuloreticular structures on electron microscopy
Clinical Features • Nephrotic syndrome • Large echogenic kidneys on renal ultrasound • Typically normotensive • Progressive course – ESRD frequently develops within 1-4 months
Ethnic Differences in HIV-associated Renal Disease • IgA nephritis: 7.75% of all HIV-infected patients in an autopsy study from France1 • HIVAN: primarily in patients of African descent (prevalence of 3.5% in clinical studies and 12% in autopsy studies; 3rd leading cause of ESRD in African-Americans)
Role of Renal Biopsy for Diagnosis of HIVAN • Atta et al. Nephrotic range proteinuria and CD4 count as noninvasive indicators of HIV-associated nephropathy. Amer J Med (2005) 118, 1288.321-1288.e26 • 107 HIV-positive patients with a renal biopsy and urine protein measurement between 1995 and 2002 • 53% of patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria had HIVAN. • Remaining patients had non-HIV associated FSGS, MPGN, AA amyloid, diabetic nephropathy, and other diagnoses • Conclusion: HIV patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria warrant a kidney biopsy
Treatment for HIVAN • HAART therapy • ACE-I or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers • Corticosteroids
Effect of HAART on HIV-Associated Renal Diseases Schwartz et al. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2005 Aug;16(8):2412-20.
Effect of HAART on HIV-Associated Renal Diseases • Atta et al. Antiretroviral therapy in the treatment of HIV-associated nephropathy. Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2006; 21: 2809-2813. • Retrospective chart review of 263 HIV patients referred to a single center renal clinic from 1995 to 2004 • Patients included if they had biopsy-proven HIVAN and did not require dialysis within 1 month of their kidney biopsy • 53 patients had HIVAN, 36 met inclusion criteria; 26 treated with antiretrovirals (at least 1 agent; group I) and 10 were not (group II) • Multivariate analysis and cumulative probablility of renal survival calculated

Conclusions • The differential diagnosis of renal failure in the HIV patient is broad and includes medication nephrotoxicity, HIV-associated TMA, and immune complex glomerulonephritis, collapsing FSGS. • There has been a plateau in the incidence of ESRD in HIV patients and a reduction in ESRD-related mortality since the advent of HAART • ACE-inhibitors should be used in patients with HIVAN and has been associated with a reduction in proteinuria and increased renal survival • Kidney transplantation is an acceptable form of renal replacement therapy for selected HIV patients
