Abstract
Kidney is generally prone to infections by all microoroganismsand urinary tract infection is the first observed symptom. The first approach to identify is to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine to ascertain kidney function in any type of infection. HIV infection will lead to a host of renal impairment and renal markers to be evaluated after antiretroviral therapy. Established kidney failure patients are much more at a risk for infections particularly by HIV. Awareness about kidney disease manifestations and the complications are essential for treatment in all infections. This review articles highlights the research findings during the last two decades on kidney related disorders in infections by a variety of microorgansims notably HIV.
