Successful treatment of HIV‐associated lupus‐like glomerulonephritis with mycophenolic acid

Abstract

Abstract HIV‐associated lupus‐like glomerulonephritis is an uncommon but well‐described entity. Treatment has traditionally focused on control of HIV viremia with some using adjuvant steroids. Mycophenolic acid may prove to be a novel, nonsteroid, therapy in patients with active glomerulonephritis despite control of the underlying infection.
