Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global pandemic with 37.6 million people infected worldwide. As per National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), in India, 2.1 million people were estimated to be infected in 2017 with an adult prevalence of 0.2%, leading to 69,000 deaths per year. Renal disease is a relatively common complication in patients with HIV infection globally, and prevalence of renal disease in HIV patients is about 5–30%. Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the number of deaths due to opportunistic infections has significantly declined, while a greater proportion of patients are developing chronic conditions not traditionally related to HIV, such as cardiovascular, liver, and kidney disease.
