“…(1) The clinical course of HIVAN is often characterized as rapid deterioration in renal function, leading to demise [2,4,20], but as occurred in several patients in this study, the precise time course may vary widely [1,21]. Thus, a history of stable or slowly worsening renal function should not dissuade the radiologist from considering the diagnosis of HIVAN if the sonographic appearance is suggestive.…”

“…Lymphoma typically occurs in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or in secondarily immunosuppressed organ transplant recipients (28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Lymphoma is particularly common in patients who have undergone cyclosporine therapy (Fig 28) (28).…”

Renal lymphoma is most often seen in conjunction with multisystemic, disseminated lymphoma or as tumor recurrence. Renal lymphoma may also be seen in immunocompromised patients or, rarely, as primary disease. Computed tomography (CT) is the most sensitive, efficient, and comprehensive examination for evaluation of the kidneys in patients with suspected renal lymphoma. Helical CT in particular improves detection and characterization of lymphomatous renal involvement by optimizing contrast dynamics and data acquisition and is the current modality of choice for accurate staging of lymphoma. Typical CT patterns in renal lymphoma include single and multiple masses, invasion from contiguous retroperitoneal disease, perirenal disease, and diffuse renal infiltration. Atypical CT patterns may also be encountered and provide a diagnostic challenge. These include spontaneous hemorrhage, necrosis, heterogeneous attenuation, cystic transformation, and calcification. Solid renal masses including renal cell carcinoma and metastases are the most commonly encountered entities that mimic renal lymphoma at CT and require biopsy for definitive diagnosis. CT (particularly helical CT) is useful in the evaluation of patients with suspected renal lymphoma, and familiarity with the spectrum of findings in renal lymphoma is important for accurate diagnosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the commonest infectious diseases in the developing countries with rising incidence seen due to HIV and AIDS. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the commonest form seen. Renal Tuberculosis is the most common extrapulmonary form. There are no specific clinical symptoms associated with renal tuberculosis. The constitutional symptoms like low grade fever, weight loss, anorexia commonly seen with pulmonary TB are not usually seen with renal TB. Renal TB is also cause of interstitial nephritis which leads to end-stage renal failure. Hence the role of radiologist assumes importance in supporting the timely diagnosis although cultures or histologic analysis is required for definitive diagnosis. The individual imaging finding may not be diagnostic as it can be seen with other renal pathologies too, however, presence of multiple imaging findings in a single case is pointer to this disease. Renal TB involves both cortex and collecting system. This article gives review of pathophysiology and computed tomography features of Renal TB.
