          Abstract

          The percentage of dialysis centers that have reported dialyzing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients increased from 11% in 1985 to 37% in 2000. Being primary care physicians for the dialysis patients, nephrologists are frequently confronted with the management of HIV-infected dialysis patients especially in urban centers. The aims of the present review are to discuss issues that are unique to HIV infection and end-stage renal disease, and to provide dialysis caretakers with sufficient information to help them optimize care and improve outcomes of these patients. Issues related to the choice of renal replacement therapy, vascular access, management of anemia, vaccination, and antiretroviral therapies are discussed in detail.

            Interleukin 6 induces human immunodeficiency virus expression in infected monocytic cells alone and in synergy with tumor necrosis factor alpha by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms

            The immunoregulatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) directly upregulates production of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in acutely as well as in chronically infected cells of monocytic lineage. In addition, IL-6 synergizes with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the induction of latent HIV expression. Unlike TNF-alpha, upregulation of viral expression induced by IL-6 alone does not occur at the transcriptional level and it is not associated with accumulation of HIV RNA. However, when IL-6 and TNF-alpha synergistically stimulate HIV production, accumulation of HIV RNA and increased transcription are observed, indicating that IL-6 affects HIV expression at multiple (transcriptional and post-transcriptional) levels.
