Clin Infect Dis. 2000 Sep;31(3):805-6. doi: 10.1086/314033.

Abstract

We report a single case documenting substantial improvement in the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated, biopsy-proven nephropathy after introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Our case report joins several others recording improvement or stabilization in the course of nephropathy following better control of HIV replication.
