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.
