Increased Risk of Fracture Associated With Hiv and Kidney Disease: A Case Report

Patients with human immunodeciency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deciency syndrome (AIDS) have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures when compared with people of the same age and sex. As a result, the risk of osteoporosis and fractures of the vertebra, lumbar, and hip is higher in people living with HIV compared to the general population. This condition is magnied in the setting of renal failure with superimposed metabolic bone disease. Here, we present a case of fracture and osteoporosis in a patient with long-standing, well-controlled HIV with superimposed metabolic bone disease and kidney failure.
