Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: In the cART era, renal dysfunction remains common. Methods: The Study to Understand the Natural History of HIV/AIDS in the Era of Effective Therapy (SUN) (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00146419) is a prospective observational cohort study of HIV-infected adults. At baseline, comprehensive data were collected, including cystatin C and measures of renal function. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with baseline renal dysfunction (eGFR < 90mL/min/1.73m2 calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) and elevated cystatin C (> 1.0mg/L) in a cross-sectional analysis. Results: Among 670 subjects with complete data (mean age 41 years, mean CD4 cell count 530 cells/mm3, 79% prescribed cART), the mean eGFR was 96.8 mL/min/1.73m2. Forty percent of subjects had renal dysfunction; 3.3% had chronic renal failure (eGFR < 60mL/min/1.73m2). Elevated cystatin C was present in 18% of subjects. In multivariate analysis, renal dysfunction was associated with older age, non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, higher BMI, hypertension, higher cystatin C levels, and current prescription of ritonavir. Factors associated with elevated cystatin C included hepatitis C co-infection, hypertension, current smoking, older age, current tenofovir use, detectable plasma HIV RNA, and elevated microalbuminuria. Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was low in this contemporary HIV cohort. However, mild to moderate renal dysfunction was common despite the widespread use of cART.
