Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can cause kidney disease via diverse mechanisms including collapsing glomerulosclerosis, immune-complex glomerulonephritis, a microangiopathy, various medication toxicities, and more. We present a case report in which, like most detective stories, we considered all the usual suspects, but the final culprit causing kidney disease in this instance was both interesting and illustrative.
