Abstract
The authors report the first case of immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive, hepatitis B- and C-negative African-American man who presented with hematuria and proteinuria. His initial presentation was compatible with HIV associated nephropathy, but on renal biopsy he was found to have ITG. He has been treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, but his proteinuria has not responded after 4 months of treatment. This case emphasizes the diverse glomerular lesions seen in HIV-positive patients and supports the use of renal biopsy to establish a diagnosis.
