Proteinuria in Paediatric Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

The journey of managing HIV infection is a complex one, much like navigating a challenging desert landscape. This study examines the prevalence and significance of proteinuria, a condition where protein is present in the urine, in children and adolescents with HIV infection. The authors review the literature on proteinuria in HIV-infected children and adolescents, highlighting the importance of early detection and management of kidney disease in this population. They also discuss the potential nephrotoxic effects of certain antiretroviral medications used to treat HIV infection.
