Abstract

Here we describe the case of a HIV-infected patient with polycystic kidney disease and end stage renal diseases not transplantable due to the persistence of a CD4 count <200 notwithstanding a good virological response to highly active antiretroviral therapy and suggest that such limitation to kidney transplantation in such as cases might be bypassed.

Keywords: HIV; Lymphopenia; Polycystic kidney disease; Transplantation; Viro-immunological dissociation.
