Pediatric acquired immunodeficiency syndrome nephropathy

It is a chronic serious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes kidney damage and causes glomerulosclerosis. After HIV infection in humans, it mainly causes the damage and reduction of helper T lymphocytes, namely CD4 T lymphocytes, and at the same time leads to the impairment of other immune functions, which causes various opportunistic infections and tumors, and eventually leads to death of patients. AIDS has spread throughout the world. Due to its poor prognosis and high mortality rate, there is no cure for it and it has caused serious consequences. The increase of children's AIDS cases in our country should cause our pediatricians to pay full attention.
