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.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui korelasi indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dengan estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) berdasarkan formula MDRD pada populasi sehat di kota Padang. Penelitian analitik dengan rancangan potong lintang ini mengikutsertakan 121 orang peserta medical check up pada beberapa rumah sakit di Kota Padang pada bulan Agustus 2013-Oktober 2014. Nilai eGFR dihitung menurut persamaan MDRD, kadar kreatinin diperiksa dengan metode enzimatik yang telah distandarisasi. Korelasi IMT dengan eGFR berdasarkan formula MDRD dianalisis menggunakan korelasi Pearson. Kemaknaan secara statistik ditentukan jika nilai p < 0,05. Korelasi IMT dengan eGFR berdasarkan formula MDRD adalah korelasi negatif yang sangat lemah dan tidak bermakna (r = -0,19 ; p > 0,05). Simpulan: tidak didapatkan korelasi antara IMT dengan eGFR berdasarkan formula MDRD.AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between BMI and eGFR by MDRD formula among healthy population in Padang. This cross-sectional analytic study enrolled 121 participants taking medical check-up in several hospitals in Padang from August 2013 to October 2014. Value of eGFR was determined by MDRD formula, and a standardized enzimatic method was used for measuring creatinine levels. The correlation between BMI and eGFR by MDRD formula was analyzed using Pearson correlation. Statistical significancy was concluded if the value of p < 0.05. The correlation of BMI and eGFR by MDRD formula was found very weak, negative, and not significant (r = -0.19, p >0.05). Thus, there was no correlation between BMI and eGFR by MDRD formula.
