Notes:

Renal disorders are an emerging problem in HIV-infected patients. We performed a cross-sectional study of the
first 1000 HIV-infected patients attended at our HIV unit who agreed to participate. We determined the frequency
of renal alterations and its related risk factors. Summary statistics and logistic regression were applied.
The study sample comprised 970 patients with complete data. Most were white (94%) and men (76%). Median
(IQR) age was 48 (42–53) years. Hypertension was diagnosed in 19%, dyslipidemia in 27%, and diabetes
mellitus in 3%. According to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD EPI) equation, 29
patients (3%) had an eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2; 18 of them (62%) presented altered albumin/creatinine and
protein/creatinine (UPC or UAC) ratios. Of the patients with eGFR> 60mL/min, it was present in 293 (30%), 38
of whom (7.1%) had UPC> 300mg/g. Increased risk of renal abnormalities was correlated with hypertension
(OR, 1.821 [95%CI, 1.292;2.564]; p = 0.001), age (OR, 1.015 [95%CI, 1.001;1.030], per one year; p = 0.040), and
use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus protease inhibitor (PI), (OR, 1.401 [95%CI, 1.078;1.821];
p = 0.012). Current CD4 cell count was a protective factor (OR, 0.9995 [95%CI, 0.9991;0.9999], per one cell;
p = 0.035). A considerable proportion of patients presented altered UPC or UAC ratios, despite having an
eGFR > 60mL/min. CD4 cell count was a protective factor; age, hypertension, and use of TDF plus PIs were risk
factors for renal abnormalities. Based on our results, screen of renal abnormalities should be considered in all
HIV-infected patients to detect these alterations early. |
