A systematic review assessing the potential use of cystatin c as a biomarker for kidney disease in people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1295217. [PMID: 38566923 PMCID: PMC10985183 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1295217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly prolonged the lifespan of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). However, the sustained use of this drug regimen has also been associated with a cluster of metabolic anomalies, including renal toxicity, which can lead to the development of kidney diseases. In this study, we reviewed studies examining kidney disease in PLWH sourced from electronic databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as gray literature. The narrative synthesis of data from these clinical studies demonstrated that the serum levels of cystatin C remained unchanged or were not affected in PLWH on ART, while the creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) fluctuated. In fact, some of the included studies showed that the creatinine-based GFR was increased in PLWH taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing ART, perhaps indicating that the use of both cystatin C- and creatinine-based GFRs is vital to monitor the development of kidney disease in PLWH. Clinical data summarized within this study indicate the potential detrimental effects of tenofovir-based ART regimens in causing renal tubular injury, while highlighting the possible beneficial effects of dolutegravir-based ART on improving the kidney function in PLWH. However, the summarized literature remains limited, while further clinical studies are required to provide insights into the potential use of cystatin C as a biomarker for kidney disease in PLWH.

Abstract
HIV infection remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in children living in resource-limited settings. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) recently recommended antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation upon diagnosis regardless of the number of CD4, ART access remains limited, especially in children living in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). HIV-infected children who do not receive appropriate ART are at increased risk of developing HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN). Although due to genetic susceptibility, SSA is recognized to be the epicenter of HIVAN, limited information is available regarding the burden of HIVAN in children living in Africa. The present review discusses the information available to date on the prevalence, pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of HIVAN in children, focusing on related challenges in a resource-limited setting.

Creatinine and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate estimates of kidney function in Black people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. AIDS 2023; 37:753-758.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To reduce health inequalities, the creatinine-based chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration 2021 formula for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is replacing the 2009 formula, which required adjustment specifically for Black individuals. We compared the 2021 and 2009 creatinine-based formulae with cystatin C-based eGFR in Black people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with HIV RNA <200 c/ml. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of paired serum creatinine and cystatin C measurements. Bias, imprecision, accuracy, and performance for identifying individuals with eGFR cystatin C <60 (units: ml/min per 1.73 m 2 ) were determined. The effects of ART with no, mild-moderate, or marked effect on tubular creatinine secretion on the performance of the 2021 formula was assessed. RESULTS We included 362 individuals (mean age 51 years, 56% female, mean eGFR-cystatin C 88.3). Overall, the 2021 (vs. the 2009 race-adjusted) formula was less biased and had improved imprecision and accuracy compared with eGFR-cystatin C but underestimated eGFR-cystatin C in those with eGFR ≥90 and overestimated eGFR-cystatin C in those with eGFR <60. The 2021 (vs. the 2009) formula had high specificity (95% vs. 97%) and negative predictive value (97% vs. 96%), but low sensitivity (56% vs. 52%) and positive predictive value (44% vs. 54%) for identifying individuals with eGFR-cystatin C <60 ( P > 0.25). Performance at the eGFR <60 cut-off was minimally affected by ART exposure group. CONCLUSION The CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine-based formula was better aligned with eGFR-cystatin C than the 2009 formula. eGFR-cystatin C may provide clinically useful information in Black people with eGFR <60 irrespective of ART regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the creatinine equation (eGFRcreat) or the cystatin C equation (eGFRcys) in people with HIV (PWH) under antiretroviral drugs. We specifically included patients with an eGFRcreat around 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 to evaluate agreement on stage 2 and 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) classification. DESIGN eGFRcreat, eGFRcys and resulting CKD staging were determined in 262 consecutive patients with HIV-1 (PWH) with a suppressed viral load (<200 copies/ml) under antiretroviral drugs and having impaired renal function (eGFRcreat between 45 and 80 ml/min per 1.73 m2). Antiretroviral drugs regimens were classified into eight groups: cobicistat (COBI)+elvitegravir (EVG), ritonavir (RTV)+protease inhibitor, dolutegravir (DTG), DTG+rilpivirine (RPV), RPV, raltegravir (RAL), bictegravir (BIC), and other antiretroviral drugs. RESULTS Mean eGFRcys was higher than mean eGFRcreat (77.7 ± 0.5 vs. 67.9 ± 7.9 ml/min per 1.73 m2, P < 0.0001). The differences were significant in five treatment groups with COBI/EVG; DTG; DTG+RPV; RPV; RAL. CKD classification was modified for 51% of patients when using eGFRcys instead of eGFRcreat, with reclassification to less severe stages in 37% and worse stages in 14%. CONCLUSION This study highlighted significant differences in eGFR depending on the renal marker used in PWH, having a significant impact on CKD classification. eGFRcys should be an additive tool for patients having eGFRcreat around 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for better identification of renal impairment.

Abstract
Background Cystatin C (Cys C) not only regulates the body's immune defenses but also contributes to tissue degradation and destruction by causing an imbalance between protease and antiprotease in infectious diseases. Is Cys C involved in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) infection and cavitation? We therefore conducted a retrospective study on this question to provide a basis for further studies. Methods Cavitary PTB patients, noncavitary PTB patients, and healthy controls were recruited in our study. Serum Cys C, CRP, BUN, UA, and CR were measured in all subjects, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare medians of these clinical parameters in different groups. The Spearman rank correlation test was used to determine correlations between variables. In addition, a multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with PTB cavitation. Results In our study, elevated serum Cys C levels were found in cavitary PTB patients compared to healthy controls and noncavitary patients (p = 0.022). Serum Cys C levels were statistically correlated with serum BUN and CR concentrations (r = 0.278, p = 0.005; r = 0.281, p = 0.004) in PTB patients. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum Cys C levels were correlated with pulmonary cavitation in PTB patients (OR = 1.426, 95% CI: 1.071-1.898). Conclusion Elevated serum levels of Cys C are associated with pulmonary cavitation in PTB patients.

Abstract
Objectives Inhibition of the organic cation transporter-2 renal tubule transporter by dolutegravir leads to serum creatinine increase. Serum cystatin C is a non-organic cation transporter-2-dependent marker, possibly enabling glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation under dolutegravir. Our goal was to evaluate the changes in creatinine- and cystatin C-based estimated GFR values before and after dolutegravir initiation. Methods Creatinine and cystatin measurements were carried out on frozen plasma samples from HIV-1-infected patients, before and after dolutegravir initiation, between October 2016 and March 2017 at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. CKD-EPI equations were used to estimate mean GFR from creatinine and cystatin C values. Variations were analysed by paired t-test. Results Forty-four patients were included [median age = 48 years (IQR 36-58) and median CD4 count = 592 cells/mm3 (IQR 388-728)], including 6 ART-naive patients and 38 on switch strategies [72% with viral load <50 copies/mL and median ART duration = 13 years (IQR 5-20)]. Before dolutegravir initiation (median time = 41 days), 19 patients (43%) had creatinine-based estimated GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 11 (25%) had cystatin C-based estimated GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2. After dolutegravir initiation, serum creatinine values significantly increased (+8.6 μmol/L, 95% CI +5.8; +11.4, P < 0.001) and associated estimated GFR significantly decreased (-7.7 mL/min/1.73 m2, 95% CI -10.4; -5.1, P < 0.001). In contrast, there was no significant change in cystatin C value variation and associated estimated GFR. The same results were observed regardless of renal function at baseline. Conclusions Creatinine values increased after dolutegravir initiation, whereas no change was observed for cystatin C values. Use of cystatin C may enable better understanding of plasma creatinine fluctuations after dolutegravir initiation, particularly in high-risk renal patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the evolution of renal function in patients receiving one or two inhibitors, according to different baseline factors. Some antiretroviral drugs such as rilpivirine (RPV), dolutegravir (DTG), or cobicistat (COBI), interact with the tubular secretion of creatinine, but there are no data about their impact in renal function evaluation in patients with renal disease or when these drugs are used concomitantly. METHODS A prospective cohort study was carried out in HIV-infected patients who switched to a dual regimen including DTG, RPV or darunavir/COBI, separately or in combination. The primary endpoint was the evolution of the serum creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR-scr). A control group not receiving any transporter inhibitor was included. RESULTS A total of 288 patients on different dual regimens were included (DTG + RPV, 92; DTG + darunavir/COBI, 23; DTG, 26; COBI, 19; control group, 128). In patients receiving two transporter inhibitors, eGFR-scr decreased by a mean of -8.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 , similar to that observed with the separate use of DTG or COBI (mean of both groups, -8.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 ), while eGFR-scr improved in the control group. Similar evolution of proteinuria and tubular dysfunction was observed in all the groups, and there were no significant changes in the cystatin C-based eGFR. Mean eGFR-scr change inversely correlated with baseline eGFR-scr value (r = -0.39; P < 0.01), with a lower eGFR-scr decrease in patients with chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS Similar eGFR-scr decreases were observed in patients using different antiretroviral drugs inhibiting the tubular transport of creatinine, separately or in combination, with no alterations in proteinuria or cystatin C-based eGFR. The lack of additional changes when the drugs were used in combination, and the lower impact in cases of previous chronic kidney disease, suggest that there are compensatory mechanisms for creatinine secretion.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Changes in kidney function are typically followed by the sequential estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Formulae for eGFR work well on a population basis, but there are well-known conditions where they do not work. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to summarize the existing literature on special populations in the pediatric age range and provide recommendations on how to estimate GFR in these populations. FINDINGS The reliability of creatinine depends on muscle mass, while cystatin C (not widely available) is limited by inflammation and changes in protein catabolism. Various dietary factors can alter eGFR. Renal function in neonates changes drastically every day, and there are currently no satisfactory reference intervals for routine pediatric use. Gender effects and conditions such as wasting disease and obesity require alternative ways to obtain eGFR. In oncology patients, chemotherapy may negatively affect renal function, and nuclear GFR measurements may be necessary. For body builders, high muscle mass may lead to underestimation of eGFR using creatinine. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Clinicians should be aware of special populations that may yield misleading eGFRs with conventional creatinine-based formulae, and that the alternative methods may be more appropriate for some populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dolutegravir may inhibit creatinine transporters in renal tubules and elevate serum creatinine levels. We investigated the usefulness of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured using inulin clearance (Cin), creatinine clearance (Ccr), and estimated GFR based on both serum creatinine (eGFRcre) and serum cystatin C (eGFRcys). PATIENTS & METHODS HIV-1-infected Japanese patients with suppressed viremia and whose antiretroviral drug was switched to dolutegravir from other drugs were included (n = 108, Study 1). We compared eGFRcre and eGFRcys at the start and after 48 weeks of dolutegravir administration. For the patients providing consent, we measured Cin and Ccr (n = 15, Study 2). We assessed biases and accuracy and compared Cin with eGFRcre, eGFRcys, and Ccr. RESULTS There were no differences in serum cystatin C and eGFRcys between baseline and at 48 weeks. Moreover, eGFRcre was significantly less accurate (within 30% of measured GFR) than both eGFRcys and Ccr (40% accuracy compared to 93% and 93%, respectively). eGFRcys was significantly less biased than eGFRcre and Ccr (p < 0.0001, p = 0.00036, respectively). No significant difference between Cin and eGFRcys was observed. eGFRcys was significantly correlated with Cin (γ = 0.85, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS eGFRcys provided the most precise estimate and most closely approximate Cin in HIV-1-infected Japanese patients with suppressed viremia treated with dolutegravir. We demonstrated clinical benefits of inulin clearance and eGFRcys. This is the first study performing inulin clearance for HIV-1-infected individuals and to show data for eGFRcys from a large cohort following a switch to dolutegravir from other antiretroviral agents.

Abstract
Dolutegravir (DTG) is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor that is used for the treatment of HIV infection. DTG inhibits organic cation transporter 2 on the basolateral side of proximal tubule cells of the kidney and leads to increased serum creatinine levels without true renal function deterioration. In HIV patients who receive DTG, an alternative test to serum creatinine measurement is needed to determine the correct renal function. We retrospectively evaluated 18 HIV-infected men who had received combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), including DTG, and who had available data on serum creatinine and cystatin C levels. We used paired t-test to assess the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by serum creatinine or cystatin C level, after the start of cART. In all 18 patients, only 2 cases were naive, whereas 16 cases switched treatment. Based on serum creatinine level, eGFR significantly changed from 67.9 (61.2-95.7) ml/min per 1.73 m2 [medians and interquartile ranges ] to 63.6 (55.5-83.7) ml/min per 1.73 m2 (p = .0004). Conversely, eGFR was almost unchanged [79.8 (77.7-82.5) to 80.0 (77.1-82.5) ml/min per 1.73 m2; p = .132] when serum cystatin C level was used for estimation. In HIV patients receiving DTG, measurement of serum cystatin C as an alternative renal function test might be clinically valuable because it is not affected by DTG administration.

Abstract
Objectives Hypertension is a common cause of proteinuria in HIV-infected people. In cats, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection appears to be associated with proteinuria. Therefore, the results from systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements in naturally infected FIV-positive cats were reviewed to assess whether hypertension contributes to the observed proteinuria in these cats. Ultrasonographic findings in FIV-positive cats were reviewed to complete renal assessment and to extend the scant knowledge on renal ultrasonography in cats. Methods Data from client-owned, naturally infected FIV-positive cats were retrospectively reviewed. To obtain a control group, records were reviewed from age-matched, privately owned, FIV-negative cats. Results Data from 91 FIV-infected and 113 control cats were compared. FIV-infected cats showed a significantly lower SBP ( P <0.0001) and significantly fewer FIV-infected cats were hypertensive (⩾160 mmHg) compared with control cats ( P = 0.025). The prevalence of renal azotaemia did not significantly differ between groups, although FIV-infected cats had significantly lower urine specific gravity (USG) ( P = 0.0273) and a higher incidence of USG below 1.035 ( P = 0.043). Urinary protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) was significantly higher in FIV-infected cats ( P = 0.0005) and proteinuria (UPC >0.4) occurred more frequently in FIV-infected cats ( P <0.001). Renal ultrasonography showed abnormalities in 60/91 FIV-infected cats, with hyperechogenic cortices in 39/91 and enlarged kidneys in 31/91. Conclusions and relevance Hypertension can be excluded as a common cause of renal damage leading to proteinuria in FIV-infected cats. Proteinuria and poorly concentrated urine are common in naturally infected FIV-positive cats, in contrast to azotaemia. Clinicians should cautiously interpret ultrasonographic abnormalities as these occur in over half of FIV-infected cats.

Cystatin C: A Marker for Inflammation and Renal Function Among HIV-infected Children and Adolescents. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2016; 35:196-200.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal disease is a leading cause of morbidity in HIV-infected adults in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era. Cystatin C has been proposed as a more sensitive marker of renal function, but it may be affected by ongoing inflammation. We aimed to study the cystatin C levels in a cohort of HIV-infected pediatric patients at 3 Spanish centers. METHODS This is a multicenter cross-sectional observational study. Renal function was assessed by means of first morning urine protein/creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratios and creatinine-estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFRs), together with the following inflammation markers: cystatin C, reactive C protein, β-2-microglobulin and 25(OH)-vitamin D levels. A control group of healthy children and adolescents was used. RESULTS Eighty-three patients (51 females, median age: 13.3 years; 32 males, median age: 13.6 years) and 44 controls (24 females, median age: 12.2 years; 20 males, median age: 10.9 years) were included. Among the former, mean CD4 cell count was 860/mm, 29(35%) patients had a previous AIDS diagnosis, 73(88%) were on HAART and HIV viremia was undetectable in 61(73%). No differences in cystatin C levels were observed between the 2 groups. In HIV-infected patients, cystatin C levels correlated with GFR (r = -0.27; P = 0.01), age at first HAART (r = -0.21; P = 0.05), and β-2-microglobulin (r = 0.569; P < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, lower GFR (P = 0.014) and higher β-2-microglobulin levels (P = 0.001) remained as independent risk factors for higher cystatin C values. CONCLUSIONS Cystatin C values were associated with GFR and β-2-microglobulin. Cystatin C may be useful as a marker of renal function in HIV-infected pediatric patients, independently of ongoing inflammation or viremia.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate serum cystatin C (sCysC) and urinary cystatin C (uCysC) in cats with hyperthyroidism and cats with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Methods Thirty cats with FIV, 26 hyperthyroid cats and 28 healthy cats were included. sCysC and uCysC:creatinine (uCysC/uCr) ratio were measured with a human particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay, previously validated for feline CysC measurement. Routine renal variables (serum creatinine [sCr], urine specific gravity, urinary protein:creatinine ratio [UPC]) were also measured in the three groups. Results Cats with hyperthyroidism had significantly higher sCysC and higher uCysC/uCr ratio, lower sCr and a higher UPC than healthy cats. Cats with FIV infection did not show a significantly higher sCysC concentration but had a significantly higher sCr and UPC than healthy cats. uCysC could be detected in only four of them. Conclusions and relevance This study demonstrated that sCysC is increased in cats with hyperthyroidism, in contrast with sCr, but not in cats with FIV. Many hyperthyroid cats, but only four cats with FIV, had an elevated uCysC/uCr ratio. Further studies may reveal if uCysC might be a valuable marker for tubular dysfunction in cats.

Abstract
A significant number of children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) virus all over the world are at risk of developing renal diseases that could have a significant impact on their treatment and quality of life. It is necessary to identify children undergoing the early stages of these renal diseases, as well as the potential renal toxicity that could be caused by antiretroviral drugs, in order to prevent the development of cardiovascular complications and chronic renal failure. This article describes the most common renal diseases seen in HIV-infected children, as well as the value and limitations of the clinical markers that are currently being used to monitor their renal function and histological damage in a noninvasive manner. In addition, we discuss the progress made during the last 10 years in the discovery and validation of new renal biomarkers for HIV-infected children and young adults. Although significant progress has been made during the early phases of the biomarkers discovery, more work remains to be done to validate the new biomarkers in a large number of patients. The future looks promising, however, the new knowledge needs to be integrated and validated in the context of the clinical environment where these children are living.

Abstract
HIV-positive patients are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Although guidelines recommend regular monitoring of renal function in individuals living with HIV, the optimal frequency remains to be defined. In this review, we discuss the renal syndromes that may be identified at an earlier stage via routine assessment of kidney function, and provide guidance in terms of the frequency of monitoring, the most useful tests to perform, and their clinical significance. Specifically, we address whether annual monitoring of kidney function is appropriate for the majority of HIV-positive patients.

Abstract
Background The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula is widely used in clinical practice to assess the correct drug dose. This formula is based on serum creatinine levels which might be influenced by chronic diseases itself or the effects of the chronic diseases. We conducted a systematic review to determine the validity of the MDRD formula in specific patient populations with renal impairment: elderly, hospitalized and obese patients, patients with cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis and human immunodeficiency virus. Methods and Findings We searched for articles in Pubmed published from January 1999 through January 2014. Selection criteria were (1) patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 ml/min (/1.73m2), (2) MDRD formula compared with a gold standard and (3) statistical analysis focused on bias, precision and/or accuracy. Data extraction was done by the first author and checked by a second author. A bias of 20% or less, a precision of 30% or less and an accuracy expressed as P30% of 80% or higher were indicators of the validity of the MDRD formula. In total we included 27 studies. The number of patients included ranged from 8 to 1831. The gold standard and measurement method used varied across the studies. For none of the specific patient populations the studies provided sufficient evidence of validity of the MDRD formula regarding the three parameters. For patients with diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis, hospitalized patients and elderly with moderate to severe renal impairment we concluded that the MDRD formula is not valid. Limitations of the review are the lack of considering the method of measuring serum creatinine levels and the type of gold standard used. Conclusion In several specific patient populations with renal impairment the use of the MDRD formula is not valid or has uncertain validity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystatin C is an overall biomarker of pathophysiologic abnormalities that accompany chronic kidney disease (CKD). The utility of cystatin C is not fully understood in an HIV-infected population. METHODS This prospective study investigated 661 HIV-infected individuals for 4 years to determine the incidence of adverse outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and renal dysfunction. The risk of developing the outcomes was discriminated with a 4 color-coded classification in a 3 × 6 contingency table, that combined 3 grades of dipstick proteinuria with 6 grades of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using either serum creatinine (eGFRcr) or cystatin C (eGFRcy): green, low risk; yellow, moderately increased risk; orange, high risk; and red, very high risk. The cumulative incidence of the outcomes was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the association between color-coded risk and the time to outcome was evaluated using multivariate proportional hazards analysis. RESULTS Compared with eGFRcr, the use of eGFRcy reduced the prevalence of risk ≥ orange by 0.8%. The adverse outcomes were significantly more likely to occur to the patients with baseline risk category ≥orange than those with ≤ yellow, independent of risk categories based on eGFRcr or eGFRcy. However, in multivariate analysis, risk category ≥orange with eGFRcy-based classification was significantly associated with adverse outcomes, but not the one with eGFRcr. CONCLUSIONS Replacing creatinine by cystatin C in the CKD color-coded risk classification may be appropriate to discriminate HIV-infected patients at increased risk of a poor prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, epidemiologic and clinical variables regarding kidney disease have not been determined among HIV-infected patients in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study of 788 HIV-infected outpatients including 706 men was conducted in 2009. The patient's mean age and CD4+ T cell count were 46.2 +/-11.8 years and 418 +/- 202/microL, respectively. Of them, 677 patients (86%) had an undetectable HIV-RNA level (<50 copies/mL). Random urine and blood samples were collected to study the coexistence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, serum cystatin C was measured since it is considered to be an alternative marker of early kidney dysfunction in the HIV population. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine was calculated using the 3-variable equation, proposed by the Japanese Society of Nephrology [eGFR (mL/ min/1.73m2) = 194 x Serum creatinine (-1.094) x Age (-0.287 x 0.739 (if female)]. CKD stages were classified based on the National Kidney Foundation guidelines. RESULTS The prevalence of CKD and that of CKD > or = stage 3 was 14.9% and 9.4%, respectively. The pro-portion of each stage was as follows: stage 1, 15 patients (1.9%); stage 2, 28 patients (3.6%); stage 3, 66 patients (8.4%); stage 4, 1 patient (0.1%); stage 5, 1 patient (0.1%); and stage 5D, 6 patients (0.8%). Elevation of serum cystatin C (> or = 0.9 mg/L) was found in 23.3%. Comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes were found in 55.4% and 27.0% in patients with CKD > or = stage 3, respectively. Urinalysis showed 71 patients (9.1%) with proteinuria and 44 patients (5.6%) with hematuria. CONCLUSION CKD has become an important comorbidity for HIV-infected patients in Japan, a point that should be given more emphasis from public health perspective.
