Relationship between renal ultrasonographic, CD4 cell count and proteinuria findings in HIV infected adult patients in Jos, Nigeria by P. M., Gwom, D., Atsukwei, E. D., Eze, E. O., Igoh, E. A., Gabkwe, M. D., Adams, K. M., Rabiu, I., Ezekiel

“…No substantial correlation was observed between renal size and CD4 tissue quantity (p > 0.05, r = 0.084) and between corticomedullary differentiation and CD4 cell amount (p >0.05, r = 0.049). Sonographically based determination of renal size and echogenicity/echopattern combined with proteinuria are good determinants of renal parenchymal disease and may have diagnostic usefulness as a non-invasive procedure in the identification of HIVAN in HIV-positive subjects with renal disease.…”
