Background. The situation of renal impairment among HIV-infected patients treated with TDF-based antiretroviral (ARV) regimen greater than 3 years is little known when TDF use has been promptly increasing in Vietnam. Methods. We analyse demographic and clinical data from a cross-sectional survey of 400 HIV-infected patients aged ≥18 years, who were treatment-naive or switched TDF regimen within over 3 years between November 2018 and March 2019. Serological tests for serum creatinine, ALT, and AST were performed. Renal impairment was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Multivariate regression analyses were used to explore the risk factors associated with renal impairment. Results. At the baseline, 7.8% of respondents had estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 30–59 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 0.8% had eGFR of 15–29 mL/min/1.73 m2, out of 34 (8.5%) of participants who had renal impairment. Multivariate analysis showed that participants who had preexposure to isoniazid (adjusted PR [aPR] = 0.35 Cl: 0.14–0.91) compared with nonexposure to isoniazid who had a BMI from 18.5 up to 25 kg/m2 (aPR = 0.31 Cl: 0.15–0.62) compared with BMI below 18.5 kg/m2 were less likely to suffer from renal impairment. Patients aged greater than 60 years (aPR = 26.75, 95% Cl: 3.38–211.62) compared with those aged 20–29 years were more likely to have increased risk of renal impairment. Conclusion. Our findings underscore the need for longitudinal studies to assess the influence of TDF on maintaining the low prevalence of renal impairment among HIV-infected patients in Vietnam.

Abstract Introduction Evidence of kidney damage is observed in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and this continues through adulthood with progression to severe functional impairment in some. One of the earliest features of kidney damage associated with SCA is microalbuminuria. Our objective was to determine the risk factors of microalbuminuria in these children and its relationship with estimated glomerular filtration rate. Methods This was a cross-sectional and comparative study involving three hundred and twenty three children with SCA in steady state and equal numbers of apparently healthy age and sex matched haemoglobin AA (HbAA) control, aged 6 months to 18 years. They were consecutively recruited over a 6 month period. Result Microalbuminuria was present in 26% of the study subjects compared with 1.85% of control P = 0.001). Anaemia and high estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) showed strong positive correlation with microalbuminuria (OR = 3.19, CI 0.953–1.116, p = 0.003 and OR = 1.7, CI 1.042–1.066, p = 0.001 respectively). Similarly, eGFR was higher in subjects with SCA than in controls and as well as in those with microalbuminuria compared with those who do not (p = < 0.01). Conclusions The two most important risk factors for microalbuminuria were anaemia and high eGFR. Age category was associated more with microalbuminuria than just age as a variable. Glomerular filtration rate was higher in children with microalbuminuria than those who do not and it was also higher in children with SCA than in control.

Background/Aims: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its metabolic components, the common risk factors, may be involved in the development and progression of decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The aim of this study was to examine the association of MetS and its metabolic components with eGFR status and severity among Chinese adults. Methods: The population-based, cross-sectional study recruited a total of 33,300 Chinese adults (aged ≥18 years) from 4 study community sites in Songjiang District, Shanghai, between June 2016 and December 2017. Decreased eGFR was defined as a value of eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Weighted multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the association of MetS and its components with eGFR status and severity. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, subjects with MetS had an increased risk of decreased eGFR with an adjusted OR of 1.76 (95% CI 1.53–2.01), and subjects with increasing numbers of MetS components had a gradually increased risk for decreased eGFR (p trend <0.001). The multivariable-adjusted ORs (95% CI) of decreased eGFR were 1.66 (1.44–1.93) for abdominal obesity, 1.37 (1.18–1.60) for elevated triglycerides, 1.13 (0.96–1.33) for reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 0.84 (0.72–0.98) for elevated fasting glucose, and 1.92 (1.57–2.35) for elevated blood pressure (BP). Furthermore, these associations remained in most of the subgroups analyses. Significant associations between elevated BP and the risks of mildly, moderately, and severely decreased eGFR were also found. Conclusions: MetS was independently associated with an increased risk of decreased eGFR, and individual components of MetS each play a different role in decreased eGFR. Elevated BP may be an important risk factor for the progression of renal dysfunction or even chronic kidney disease.

Renal impairment (RI) is common in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and new therapies that can improve renal function are needed. The Phase 3 IKEMA study (NCT03275285) investigated isatuximab (Isa) with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) vs Kd in relapsed MM. This subgroup analysis examined results from patients with RI, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate
