The risk factors that attribute to HIV-associated nephropathy are similar to those seen with HIV. Positive predicators for HIV-associated nephropathy include: polymorphysim of Apolipoproetin-1 (APOL1) gene, high viral load, low CD-4 count,  proteinuria (nephrotic range), and higher level of renal echogenicity on ultrasound.
