Abstract
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are often treated with a variety of potentially nephrotoxic drugs. This review summarizes the renal, fluid, and electrolyte complications of drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus and associated opportunistic infections. The pharmacokinetics of the drugs are also briefly reviewed, and dosing guidelines for the use of these drugs in patients who have renal insufficiency or who are receiving dialysis are provided.
