Treatment of renal AA-Amyloidosis associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection: a case report.
CEN Case Reports 2020 September 6
We present a case of a young adult male who was treated successfully for renal AA-amyloidosis secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection using highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). He presented with lobar pneumonia, acute kidney injury, nephrotic syndrome and newly diagnosed HIV infection and was initiated on HARRT and haemodialysis. Kidney biopsy was consistent with amyloid deposition of the AA-type. His clinical condition improved gradually and after 10 months of therapy, he regained sufficient excretory function to become dialysis independent. Two years later, he remained well, with a recovered CD4 count and a glomerular filtration rate of 63 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Patients with renal AA-amyloidosis typically present with slowly progressive chronic kidney disease, often leading to end-stage kidney disease within months. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of biopsy proven renal AA-amyloidosis in a newly diagnosed HIV positive patient to present with acute kidney injury leading to dialysis dependence over a period of 2 weeks, which was successfully treated using HAART.
