Renal function and incidence of chronic kidney disease in HIV patients: A Danish cohort study

Abstract Background: Impaired renal function is of major concern in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Methods: We used a mixed effects linear regression model to determine estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in a population-based cohort of incident Danish HIV patients a...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background: Impaired renal function is of major concern in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Methods: We used a mixed effects linear regression model to determine estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in a population-based cohort of incident Danish HIV patients and stratified on baseline eGFR (eGFRB) < 90 and ≥ 90 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) - 2 consecutive eGFR values < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 measured > 3 months apart - were estimated (time-updated Cox-regression model). Results: The effect of time with HIV on eGFR was small in both strata (− 0.09 (95% confidence interval (CI) − 0.27, 0.09) and − 0.46 (95% CI − 0.64, − 0.27) ml/min per 1.73 m2 per y). Treatment with tenofovir and indinavir was associated with lower eGFR in both strata: tenofovir − 2.00 (95% CI − 3.45, − 0.56) and − 1.94 (95% CI − 3.43, − 0.44) ml/min per 1.73 m2 and indinavir − 2.14 (95% CI − 3.63, − 0.64) and − 3.29 (95% CI − 5.25, − 1.32) ml/min per 1.73 m2. Nevirapine, atazanavir, and the combination of tenofovir and atazanavir were associated with lower eGFR in patients with eGFRB < 90 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and exposure to tenofovir and atazanavir in combination were associated with CKD in patients with eGFRB < 90 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (adjusted IRRs 6.08 (95% CI 2.76-13.41) and 26.75 (95% CI 9.54-75.05)). Conclusion: Tenofovir and indinavir reduce eGFR, while time with HIV only has a modest effect on this parameter. Low eGFRB is associated with an increased risk of CKD, especially when receiving HAART regimens containing the combination tenofovir/atazanavir.
