Yu XL, Sun W, Liu L, Hong K, Song H. Urinary α 1-microglobulin and β 2-microglobulin as markers of early kidney injury in HIV-positive male patients on tenofovir-based antiretroviral therapy. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0303442. [PMID: 38885284 PMCID: PMC11182508 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0303442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A retrospective study was conducted to explore the urinary expression of α 1-microglobulin (α1MG) and β2-microglobulin (β2MG) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, aiming to evaluate their predictive capability for renal injury. METHOD One hundred and five male HIV-infected patients treated with Tenofovir (TDF) regimen (TDF+3TC or the third drug TDF/FTC+) were selected between March 1, 2021, and March 1, 2022, in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. Three months after TDF treatment, the renal function injury was evaluated with the standard creatinine clearance rate. The urinary levels of α1MG and β2MG were compared between the initiation of TDF treatment and three months thereafter. Spearman correlation was utilized to analyze the correlation between the urinary expression of α1MG and β2MG and renal injury in HIV patients. The logistic regression was used to analyze the predictive value of urinary α1MG and β 2-microglobulin expression in renal injury. RESULTS Up to the first follow-up, 29 (27.6%) cases of the 105 male HIV patients had varying degrees of renal function injury, including 14 (13.3%) mild injury, 9 (8.6%) moderate injury, and 6 (5.7%) severe injury cases. Patients with severe renal injury had the highest levels of urinary α1MG and β2MG expression while those with mild injury demonstrated higher levels compared to the non-injury group (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis indicated that urinary α1MG and β2MG were positively correlated with renal impairment in HIV patients (Rho = -0.568, and -0.732; P < 0.001). The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve (AUC) for urine α1MG and β2MG in predicting kidney damage among HIV patients were 0.928, 0.916, and 0.889, respectively. The sensitivity values were 96.55%, 82.76%, and 89.66% while the specificity values were 84.07%, 94.51%, and 89.29% for urine α1MG and β2MG, respectively. CONCLUSION The expression level of urinary α1MG and β2MG in HIV patients was significantly higher compared to normal people. Detection of these two indexes can enable early determination of renal injury and its severity in HIV patients.

Association between tenofovir plasma trough concentrations in the early stage of administration and discontinuation of up to five years tenofovir disoproxil fumarate due to renal function-related adverse events in Japanese HIV-1 infected patients. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2024; 10:20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between plasma tenofovir (TFV) concentration at the beginning of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) administration and the development of renal dysfunction during long-term administration of TDF has not been demonstrated yet. The objective of the present study was to determine whether plasma TFV trough concentrations during early TDF administration could serve as an indicator of renal dysfunction when TDF is administered for long periods. METHODS We included 149 HIV-1 infected Japanese patients who were prescribed TDF. We investigated the relationship between plasma TFV trough concentrations and the rate of discontinuation due to the development of renal dysfunction for up to five years after the start of TDF administration. We also examined how the decrease in renal function over time due to TDF administration was related to factors associated with high TFV levels and plasma TFV trough concentrations. RESULTS The median TFV trough concentration in the TDF discontinuation group was 88 ng/mL, which was significantly higher (p = 0.0041), than that in the continuation group (72 ng/mL). Further, using an ROC curve, the cut-off value for TFV trough concentration at which TDF discontinuation was significantly high was found to be 98 ng/mL. Logistic multivariate analysis of factors associated with discontinuation of TDF due to renal function-related adverse events showed that being ≥ 50 years old (OR = 2.96; 95% CI, 1.01-8.64), having eGFR < 80 mL/min/1.73m2 at the start of TDF administration (OR = 5.51; 95% CI, 1.83-17.5), and TFV trough concentration ≥ 98 ng/mL (OR = 2.96; 95% CI, 1.16-7.60) were independent factors. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that the importance of measuring TFV concentrations to evaluate the risk of developing renal function-related adverse events during long-term TDF administration.

Effect of tenofovir containing ART on renal function in patients with moderate/severe reduced creatinine clearance at baseline: A retrospective study at two referral hospitals in Namibia. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2022; 11:e00681. [PMID: 36585791 PMCID: PMC9803902 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Prescription of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for patients with baseline creatinine clearances (CrCl) <60 mL/min is said to increase risk of further decline in CrCl. Study objectives were to assess incidence of improvement and predictors thereof; to assess incidence of decline and transition to lower stages of CrCl; and comparison of declines between patients with a baseline CrCl < 60mL/min (group-I) and ≥ 60 mL/min (group-II). The study was retrospective, included patients 16 yrs or older who received TDF-containing ART. Improvement and decline were defined as ≥ 25% increase or decrease in CrCl, respectively. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of improvement. Groups I and II had 2862 and 7526 patients, respectively. In group-I, improvement in CrCl was observed in 40.1% (n = 1146), and was associated with stage IV of CrCl (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]=13.4 [95% CI: 6.7 - 26.9, P < .001]); male gender (aHR = 1.8 [95% CI: 1.5 - 2.2, P < .001]); and a poor HIV-status (aHR = 1.2 [95% CI: 1.0 - 1.4], P = .033). In group-I and group-II, respectively, decline occurred in 2.3% and 13.0%, (P < .001); transition to lower stages occurred in 1.0% and 25.2% (P < .001); and migration to stage IV CrCl occurred in 1.0% and 0.5% (P < .001). Improvement was more likely than decline in group-I patients. Although, group-I patients were more likely to experience new onset severe reduced CrCl than group-II patients, the proportions were extremely low. TDF should not be withheld from HIV-positive patients with a baseline CrCl < 60 mL/min.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this case-control study was to verify the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding drug transporters related to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and proximal renal tubular dysfunction (PRTD), and the association between PRTD and clinical characteristics. METHODS The 'cases' met the diagnostic criteria for PRTD, determined by the presence of two or more of the following abnormalities: non-diabetic glycosuria, metabolic acidosis, increased uric acid and phosphorus excretion, decreased tubular phosphorus reabsorption and β2-microglobulinuria. We analyzed eight SNPs in ABCC2, ABCC4, ABCC10 and SLC28A2 genes. Genotyping was performed using real-time PCR. RESULTS Of the 204 people living with HIV, 38 (18.6%) met the criteria for diagnosis of PRTD and 131 were male (64.2%), with a mean age of 49 years and a history of previous antiretroviral therapy for an average of 5 years. In the multivariate analysis, older individuals, TDF use, protease inhibitor, antihypertensives and anticonvulsants were associated with a risk of developing PRTD. Increased excretion of β2microglobulin was associated with the A/G genotype of rsCC8187710 from ABCC2 ( P = 0.003) and the following genotypes of ABCC4 SNPs: A/G from rs1059751 ( P = 0.023), G/G from rs1059751 ( P = 0.030) and C/C of rs3742106 ( P = 0.041). The increase in the fraction of excreted phosphorus was associated with the C/T genotype of SNCC rsP40037 from ABCC2 ( P = 0.0041). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate an important relationship between SNPs associated with these markers and changes in proximal renal tubule function, and thus support their use as biomarkers for the early detection of PRTD risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The extent to which patients with End-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at a higher risk of COVID-19-related death is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the ESRD patients at increased risk of COVID-19 -related death and its associated factors. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 74 patients with ESRD and 446 patients without ESRD hospitalized for COVID-19 in Alborz province, Iran, from Feb 20 2020 to Apr 26 2020. Data on demographic factors, medical history, Covid-19- related symptoms, and blood tests were obtained from the medical records of patients with confirmed COVID-19. We fitted univariable and multivariable Cox regression models to assess the association of underlying condition ESRD with the COVID-19 in-hospital mortality. Results were presented as crude and adjusted Hazard Ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). In the ESRD subgroup, demographic factors, medical history, symptoms, and blood parameters on the admission of survivors were compared with non-survivors to identify factors that might predict a high risk of mortality. RESULTS COVID-19 patients with ESRD had in-hospital mortality of 37.8% compared to 11.9% for those without ESRD (P value < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, age, sex, and comorbidities, ESRD patients were more likely to experience in-hospital mortality compared to non-ESRD patients (Adjusted HR (95% CI): 2.59 (1.55-4.32)). The Log-rank test revealed that there was a significant difference between the ESRD and non-ESRD groups in terms of the survival distribution (χ2 (1) = 21.18, P-value < 0.001). In the ESRD subgroup, compared to survivors, non-survivors were older, and more likely to present with lack of consciousness or O2 saturation less than 93%; they also had lower lymphocyte but higher neutrophil counts and AST concentration at the presentation (all p -values < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that the presence of ESRD would be regarded as an important risk factor for mortality in COVID-19 patients, especially in those who are older than age 65 years and presented with a lack of consciousness or O2 saturation less than 93%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive treatment and clinical management are central to improving outcomes for people living with HIV (PLHIV). We explored trends in HIV clinical care, treatment outcomes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes monitoring. METHODS We included patients ≥18 years in care at ten clinical sites in eight Asian countries. Proportions of patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), with annual viral load, and with viral load suppression (VLS; <1,000 copies/ml) were estimated by year for 2011-2016, stratified by country income level (lower-middle income [LMIC] and high-income countries [HIC]). Among those on ART in 2016 we evaluated factors associated with annual CKD and diabetes monitoring. RESULTS Among 31,346 patients (67% male), the proportions of patients on ART (median ART initiation year 2011, IQR 2007-2013), with annual viral load and VLS had substantially increased by 2016 (to 94%, 42% and 92%, respectively, in LMIC and 95%, 97% and 93%, respectively, in HIC) with the larger increases over time seen in LMIC. Among those on ART in 2016, monitoring proportions in LMIC were 53% for CKD and 26% for diabetes compared with 83% and 59%, respectively, in HIC. Overall, a decreased odds of monitoring was observed for male gender, heterosexual HIV exposure, no viral load and LMIC. Diabetes monitoring was also decreased in those with viral failure. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight suboptimal monitoring of viral load, CKD and diabetes in PLHIV in Asia. There is a need for affordable and scalable monitoring options to improve the joint care for HIV and non-communicable diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence and risk factors of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-related renal impairment (RI) in Namibia are unknown where TDF-containing ART regimens are used as the first line for HIV. METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study among HIV-infected patients at two intermediate hospitals. A decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significant if it was ≥25% and included a change to a lower eGFR stage. New-onset RI was defined as an eGFR <50 mL/min/1.73m2 . RESULTS 10 387 patients were included: 11.4% (n = 1182) experienced the decline in eGFR. Of these, 0.6% (n = 62) migrated to eGFR stages IV and V. The incidence was 4.5 (95% CI: 4.3-4.8) per 100 patient years. RI developed in 400 patients for an incidence rate of 2.4 (95% CI: 2.2-2.6) cases per 100 patient years. Risk factors with effect sizes >2.0, for decline-in-eGFR were baseline eGFR >60 (aHR = 15.6); hyperfiltration (aHR = 5.0); and pregnancy (aHR = 2.4); while for RI, they were hyperfiltration (aHR = 4.1) and pregnancy (aHR = 29). CONCLUSION The incidence of decline-in-eGFR was higher than in other sub-SSA countries, but not RI. A high baseline eGFR had the greatest risk for the decline, and hyperfiltration for the RI.

Abstract
Background Limited data are available on the effect of antiretroviral treatment (ART) or Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on renal function in Ethiopians. We aimed to assess factors associated with renal function changes during the first year of ART with special focus on TDF. Methods HIV positive persons who were ≥ 18 years of age and eligible for ART initiation were recruited. Creatinine measurement to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and spot urine analyses were performed at baseline and after 3, 6 and 12 months of ART. Univariate and multivariate linear regression and univariate logistic regression were used to determine factors associated with eGFR as continuous and categorical variable respectively. A linear mixed model was used to assess 12 month eGFR difference in TDF and non-TDF based regimen. Result Of 340 ART-naïve HIV patients with baseline renal function tests, 82.3% (279/339) were initiated on a TDF based ART regimen. All patients were on non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) based ART regimen. The median (IQR) change in eGFR with 12 months of ART was 0.8 (− 11.1; 10.0) ml/min/1.73m2. About 41 and 26.9% of HIV patients had a drop of greater than 3 and 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 in eGFR at 12 month, respectively. However, none of the HIV patients declined to < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 within 12 months. Moreover, none of the HIV patients had persistent proteinuria or glycosuria. Older HIV patients especially age > 45 years and those with unsuppressed viral load at 6 month of ART had a significantly lower eGFR at 12 months of ART initiation. However, there was no difference in 12 month eGFR between HIV patients initiated on TDF based regimen and non-TDF based regimen. Conclusion Renal function remained stable with no difference between HIV patients treated with TDF or non-TDF NNRTI based ART regimen over 12 months. However, older HIV patients and those with unsuppressed viral load deserve special focus on renal monitoring. Data on long-term safety of TDF (> 1 year) is still warranted in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to analyze the factors associated to chronic kidney disease in people living with HIV (PLHIV). METHOD a paired case-control study (4 controls for each case) carried out in a specialized care service in the Southeastern of Brazil, by analyzing PLHIV medical records. The sample consisted of 85 participants, corresponding to 17 cases and 68 controls. Pearson's chi-square test (Χ2) and Fisher's exact test, logistic regression, Odds Ratio (OR), 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and p<0.05 were used. SPSS version 25.0 and R Core Team, 2018 version 3.5.1 were used. RESULTS the factors associated with chronic kidney disease identified in this study were the following: presence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension [OR=5.8, CI (95%)=1.84-18.42, p=0.001] and use of nephrotoxic anti-retrovirals in the previous therapeutic regimen [OR=3.3, CI (95%)=1.105-10.221, p=0.028]. On the other hand, age below 40 years old [OR: 0.122, CI (95%)=0.015-0.981, p=0.022] was identified as a protective factor. CONCLUSION the PLHIV under study have multi-factorial exposure associated with chronic kidney disease. However, knowing these factors helps to identify the existing risks and/or renal dysfunction, in addition to supporting the clinical decision of the health professionals who directly assist them.

Abstract
Introduction: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is currently in epidemic stage. After large-scale interpersonal infection, asymptomatic patients appear. Whether asymptomatic patients are contagious or not and whether they need medication are the arguments among clinical experts. Areas covered: This paper reports a special asymptomatic couple with COVID-19, of which the male patient is an intercity bus driver but has not induced confirmed infection of his 188 passengers. The patients were treated with four combinations of lopinavir/ritonavir tablets, arbidol tablets, Lianhuaqingwen granules, and recombinant human interferon-α2b (IFN-α2b) injection via aerosol. Their clinical characteristics and medication were summarized and analyzed. Expert opinion: The two asymptomatic patients far away from Wuhan did not seem to be highly contagious. They improved obviously, after treatment with the quadruple therapy, but the effective drug is still unknown. It should be noted that lopinavir/ritonavir tablets have many drug interactions and are the most likely drugs to cause hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in these two patients. IFN-α2b is more effective in the early stage of virus infection. Arbidol instruction dose may not be sufficient to inhibit the novel coronavirus in vivo. The evidence-based medicine of Lianhuaqingwen granules for treating various viral infections is just based on Chinese patients.

Comorbid Chronic Diseases and Acute Organ Injuries Are Strongly Correlated with Disease Severity and Mortality among COVID-19 Patients: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2020; 2020:2402961.

Abstract
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has been rapidly spreading on a global scale. To date, there is no specific vaccine against the causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, nor is there an effective medicine for treating COVID-19, thus raising concerns with respect to the effect of risk factors such as clinical course and pathophysiological parameters on disease severity and outcome in patients with COVID-19. By extracting and analyzing all available published clinical data, we identified several major clinical characteristics associated with increased disease severity and mortality among patients with COVID-19. Specifically, preexisting chronic conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes are strongly associated with an increased risk of developing severe COVID-19; surprisingly, however, we found no correlation between chronic liver disease and increased disease severity. In addition, we found that both acute cardiac injury and acute kidney injury are highly correlated with an increased risk of COVID-19-related mortality. Given the high risk of comorbidity and the high mortality rate associated with tissue damage, organ function should be monitored closely in patients diagnosed with COVID-19, and this approach should be included when establishing new guidelines for managing these high-risk patients. Moreover, additional clinical data are needed in order to determine whether a supportive therapy can help mitigate the development of severe, potentially fatal complications, and further studies are needed to identify the pathophysiology and the mechanism underlying this novel coronavirus-associated infectious disease. Taken together, these findings provide new insights regarding clinical strategies for improving the management and outcome of patients with COVID-19.

Glob Health Med 2020; 2:39-43. [PMID: 33330773 DOI: 10.35772/ghm.2019.01035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
With expanding antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Vietnam, the use of second-line ART with ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r) is increasing. However, little is known regarding the effect of LPV/r on dyslipidemia (DL) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with HIV in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was performed in a cohort of HIV-infected Vietnamese patients on ART at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi, Vietnam. In addition to DL, we included hypertension (HT) and hyperglycemia (HG) as non-communicable diseases. Blood pressure, casual blood sugar levels, and the lipid profile were evaluated cross-sectionally in October and November 2016. The incidence of CVD was calculated in the cohort. We determined factors associated with diseases by univariate and multivariate analyses. A total of 1,346 subjects were evaluated for their non-communicable diseases. The subjects' mean age was 39.2 years and 41.8% were women. A total of 10.5% of the subjects had exposure to LPV/r. DL, HT, and HG was diagnosed in 53.5%, 24.4%, and 0.8% of the subjects, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age (OR = 1.040; 95% CI, 1.025-1.055), female sex (OR = 0.335; 95% CI, 0.264-0.424), and LPV/r exposure (OR = 3.251; 95% CI, 2.030-5.207) were significantly associated with DL. The incidence rate of CVD was 1.87/1,000 person-years (15 incidental cases in 8,013 person-years). LPV/r exposure was not a risk factor for the incidence of CVD. Although a causative relation with LPV/r and CVD was not identified in this study, attention should be paid to CVD for patients on LPV/r in the future.

Lipid profile and renal safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based anti-retroviral therapy in HIV-infected Chinese patients. Int J Infect Dis 2019; 83:64-71. [PMID: 30951879 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2019.03.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2019] [Revised: 03/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is an important component of antiretroviral therapy (ART) that has been widely used. The aim of this study was to observe the long-term impact of TDF-based ART on lipid metabolism profiles and renal functions in Chinese patients. METHODS 414 and 124 HIV-infected, ART-naïve patients who initiated TDF-based regimens and non-TDF regimens respectively were retrospectively included. Demographic characteristics and clinical information of each patient was collected. Changes of lipid profiles and renal function, as well as the risk factors of hyperlipidemia and renal dysfunction were analyzed. RESULTS After 96 weeks of ART, HIV viral loads were undetectable in 97.34% (403/414) of patients exposed to TDF. The plasma total cholesterol (TCH) increased from 3.97 ± 0.83 mmol/L to 4.53 ± 0.87 mmol/L (P < 0.001), which did not show a significant difference comparing with non-TDF exposed group. By contrast, the plasma triglyceride (TG) levels increased, but were still lower than that in the non-TDF exposed group (0.26 ± 1.24 vs. 0.89 ± 1.78, P < 0.001). The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased from 127.29 ± 24.04ml∙min-1∙1.73 m-2 at baseline to 118.84 ± 22.74 ml∙min-1∙1.73 m-2(P < 0.001) in the TDF exposed group, while it increased in the non-TDF exposed group. In the TDF group, high body mass index (BMI) (OR = 1.13, P = 0.01), high baseline TG (OR = 2.33, P<0.001) and receiving protease inhibitors (PIs) (OR = 7.58, P < 0.001) were associated with hypertriglyceridemia after ART, while high baseline TCH predicted hypercholesterolemia (OR = 3.58, P < 0.001). MSM (OR = 0.22, P = 0.02) and baseline eGFR (OR = 0.90, P < 0.001) was associated with renal dysfunction after ART. CONCLUSIONS TDF-based regimens are of good therapeutic effect among Chinese people. These regimens showed a better plasma lipid profile but mild renal dysfunction as compared to non-TDF based regimens. Patients with high BMI, high baseline TG, high baseline TCH and low baseline eGFR should be closely monitored when using TDF-based ART.
