ABSTRACT:
Objectives: This study
proposes to evaluate risk factors for kidney disease in HIV patients treated
chronically and correlate with microalbuminuria measurements. Methods: Review
charts and analyses of microalbuminuria in subgroup of HIV patients treated at
Ceara/Brazil. Results: 149 patients, 69.1% male, mean 38.5 years old, infection
mean 86.8 months. Mean Creatinine Clearance 110.2%, Creatinine 0.97, Urea 27.76
mg/dl, CD4+ 600.37 cels/mm3 and detectable viral load 530.59 copies
with 61.7% undetectable. Mean Dosages of microalbuminuria/24h 147, 46 ± 820, 45
(N = 48) and microalbuminuria (mg/dl) 32.05 ± 85.25 (N = 43). Kidney Diseases
Classification analyses evidenced 6.4%
patients in stages ≥3 and 6.2% presented altered Microalbuminuria/24h. Patients
using Tenofovir (TDF) 27.27% had Stage 2 and protease inhibitors (PI) had 4.1%
in Stage 3. Proteinuria was observed in 5% stage ≥3. Association PI/TDF had
4.1% in Stage 3. No statistical difference between CD4 > or 3 and microalbuminuria/24h > 300 mg (p = 0.69); detectable/undetectable viral
load and microalbuminuria/24h (p = 0.63) or stage ≥3 (p = 0.17); relation to
Diabetes or arterial hypertension and microalbuminuria 24 h (p = 0.5 and p = 0.21);
relation stage ≥3 and microalbuminuria/24h (p = 0.33); relation HIV diagnoses
