“…Most reported cases refer to aged patients with minimal change disease, but a similar clinical presentation has been reported in other etiologies of nephrotic syndrome, such as membranous nephropathy [14][15][16]. Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain the pathogenesis of this acute renal failure associated with nephrotic syndrome: taking into account that most patients were old, some authors have speculated on an ischemic tubular necrosis, secondary to the hypovolemia that usually accompanies the nephrotic syndrome; aged patients could be more susceptible to this complication [17].…”

Collapsing glomerulopathy is a pattern of renal injury that is seen in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Patients with this HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) present nephrotic syndrome and rapid deterioration of the renal function. There is no proven effective therapy for HIVAN, and the majority of the patients become dialysis dependent. We report a case of biopsy-proven HIVAN that showed spontaneous improvement of the renal function.
