RESUMOIntrodução: A doença renal é uma das principais comorbidades envolvendo pacientes infectados com o HIV, em razão da melhora da sobrevida proporcionada pela terapêutica antirretroviral. O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar fatores de risco, possivelmente correlacionados com função renal alterada, em pacientes infectados pelo HIV. Métodos: Estudo transversal foi realizado em 254 pacientes infectados pelo HIV, atendidos em ambulatório na Santa Casa de Vitória. Eles foram entrevistados e submetidos a coletas de amostras de sangue para contagem de células CD4, quantificação de carga viral do HIV-1, dosagens de glicose, lipídeos e creatinina. A proteinúria foi avaliada em amostra de primeira urina da manhã. A filtração glomerular foi estimada com as fórmulas de modified diet in renal disease (MDRD) simplificada e CockcroftGault. Resultados: Cento e três (40,6%) pacientes tinham alguma anormalidade no exame de urina, sendo proteinúria o achado mais comum (46; 18,1% pacientes). Vinte e cinco (9,8%) pacientes tinham filtração glomerular estimada inferior a 60ml/min/1.73m 2 de acordo com MDRD. A análise de regressão logística multivariada mostrou que baixa filtração glomerular foi positivamente correlacionada com raça negra [OR 9,6 (IC95% 1,80
ABSTRACT Introduction:Renal disease has emerged as one of the primary comorbid conditions affecting HIV-infected patients, mainly because antiretroviral therapy has improved survival. This study aimed to detect risk factors possibly associated with altered renal function in HIV-infected patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 254 HIV-infected patients attending an outpatient clinic at Santa Casa de Vitoria< They were interviewed and blood samples were collected for CD4 cell counts, HIV-1 viral load, glucose, lipids and creatinine measurements. Urine protein was evaluated in the first voiding urine sample. Glomerular filtration was estimated by simplified modified diet in renal disease (MDRD) and CockcroftGault formulas. Results: One hundred and three (40.6%) patients presented some urinary abnormality, and proteinuria was the most common finding (46; 18.1% patients). Twenty-five (9.8%) patients showed estimated glomerular filtration below 60ml/min/1.73m 2 by MDRD. Multivariate logistic regression showed that low glomerular filtration was positively correlated with black race
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
