Estimated glomerular fi ltration rate in people living with HIV

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) in people living with HIV. Methods: Cross-sectional and analytical study evaluating 340 people in outpatient care in the city of Ribeirão Preto-SP. eGFR was calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula. Univariate analysis was performed with Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, with p <0.05. Results: It was identifi ed that 114 (34.1%) of the participants presented changes in Glomerular Filtration, of which (90) 27.5% were classifi ed in stage 2, 15 (4.5%) in stage 3A and 07 (2.1%) in stage 3B. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the variables gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, BMI and time of diagnosis were associated with Glomerular Filtration Rate. The importance of the complete follow-up of PLHIV is emphasized, as it can prevent renal dysfunction.
