Development of proteinuria or elevated serum creatinine and mortality in HIV-infected women

Article Abstract:

Research has been copnducted on proteinuria or elevated serum creatinine incidence in HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. The hypothesis that these abnormalities are mortality predictors has been tested, and the results suggest that proteinuria or elevated serum creatinine management should be a priority for HIV-infected people.
