AB A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate the influence of risk
factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on the outcome
of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The records of all
patients seen at Howard University Hospital between February 1984 and
July 1994 with a diagnosis of HIV infection were reviewed. Two hundred
seventy-eight patients had a diagnosis of renal failure; 38 of these
patients developed end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis. Risk
factors for HIV infection in these patients were intravenous drug abuse,
homosexual behavior, bisexual preference, and blood transfusion. None of
these factors consistently influenced the survival of HIV-infected
patients with ESRD.
