Abstract
Rationale & Objective The diagnosis and prognostication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) largely rely on glomerular measures that may not reflect tubular damage. We investigated the associations of urine kidney tubule biomarkers with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change among middle-aged adults, when chronic diseases typically emerge. Study Design An observational cohort study. Setting & Participants A total of 1,145 participants of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study without CKD, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease at the year 20 visit. Exposures Seven different biomarkers of tubular health: urine epidermal growth factor (EGF), alpha-1-microglobulin (α1m), interleukin-18, kidney injury molecule-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, uromodulin, and chitinase-3-like protein 1. Outcomes Ten-year eGFR change and incident reduced eGFR (new onset of eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Analytical Approach We examined associations of tubular health biomarkers with 10-year eGFR change and incident reduced eGFR with linear mixed models and interval-censored proportional hazards regression models, respectively. Both minimally and fully adjusted models were controlled for urine creatinine levels. Results The mean age of participants was 44.8 ± 3.7 years, with 39% African American and 56% female. The average 10-year change in eGFR was -18.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI, -19.4 to -17.8). In contrast to the other tubular biomarkers, which showed conflicting results, EGF demonstrated strong, consistent associations with both kidney outcomes. Each 1-standard deviation (SD) higher EGF was associated with a 2.37 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI, 0.64-4.10) smaller 10-year decrease in eGFR and a 42% (95% CI, 4%-64%) lower risk of incident reduced eGFR in the fully adjusted model. Limitations Observational design, measurements of eGFR were done only at 5-year intervals during follow-up. Conclusions In middle-aged, community-dwelling adults without hypertension, cardiovascular disease or CKD, higher urine EGF concentrations are associated with slower eGFR decline, whereas other kidney tubule biomarkers lacked a consistent association with kidney function decline.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether urine biomarkers of kidney health are associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease among men with and without HIV. DESIGN A cross-sectional study within the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) among 504 men with and without HIV infection who underwent cardiac computed tomography scans and had urine biomarkers measured within the preceding 2 years. METHODS Our primary predictors were four urine biomarkers of endothelial (albuminuria), proximal tubule dysfunction (alpha-1-microglobulin [A1 M] and injury (kidney injury molecule-1 [KIM-1]) and tubulointerstitial fibrosis (pro-collagen-III N-terminal peptide [PIIINP]). These were evaluated for association with coronary artery calcium (CAC) prevalence, CAC extent, total plaque score, and total segment stenosis using multivariable regression. RESULTS Of the 504 participants, 384 were men with HIV (MWH) and 120 were men without HIV. In models adjusted for sociodemographic factors, cardiovascular disease risk factors, eGFR, and HIV-related factors, each two-fold higher concentration of albuminuria was associated with a greater extent of CAC (1.35-fold higher, 95% confidence interval 1.11-1.65), and segment stenosis (1.08-fold greater, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.16). Associations were similar between MWH and men without HIV in stratified analyses. The third quartile of A1 M showed an association with greater CAC extent, total plaque score, and total segment stenosis, compared with the lowest quartile. CONCLUSION Worse endothelial and proximal tubule dysfunction, as reflected by higher urine albumin and A1 M, were associated with greater CAC extent and coronary artery stenosis.

Brief Report: Incidence and Management of Complex Kidney Situations Among On-Demand and Daily HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Users. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2024; 95:255-259. [PMID: 37977193 DOI: 10.1097/qai.0000000000003346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated complex pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) situations linked to kidney issues in a cohort of on-demand and daily PrEP users. SETTING We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study in France including all PrEP users who received a tenofovir disoproxil (TD)-emtricitabine (FTC) prescription between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2019 with at least 1 creatinine measurement available before and after PrEP initiation. METHODS A complex kidney situation (CKS) was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/minute/1.73m 2 on 2 consecutive measurements. We estimated the incidence of this event, described case management, and identified associated factors using a Cox model. RESULTS Three thousand one hundred and fourteen individuals were included in this study. Almost all were men (99%) with a median age of 35 years, 25% had an eGFR <90 mL/minute/1.73m 2 at baseline, and 65% used on-demand PrEP. Nine users (0.29%) had a CKS at baseline; 8/9 initiated on-demand PrEP without renal function worsening after a median (interquartile range [IQR]) follow-up time of 14 months (7-31). Thirteen cases of CKS occurred during the follow-up for a 0.25 per 100 person-years incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.14; 0.45]). On-demand PrEP was used in 7/13 participants with no further episode of confirmed eGFR <60 mL/minute/1.73m 2 after a 17-month median follow-up (IQR 4-18). CKS was associated with an age ≥50 years (hazard ratio [HR] 13, 95% CI: [4-39]) or with a baseline eGFR <90 mL/minute/1.73m 2 (HR 34, 95% CI: [4-261]). 9/22 CKS were linked to high-protein intake for weight training. CONCLUSIONS CKS were rare in our cohort. On-demand PrEP did not result in subsequent renal function worsening in these few situations.

Ambulatory urine biomarkers associations with acute kidney injury and hospitalization in people with HIV. AIDS 2023; 37:2339-2348.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with HIV (PWH) generally have worse ambulatory levels of kidney injury biomarkers and excess risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to persons without HIV. We evaluated whether ambulatory measures of subclinical kidney injury among PWH are associated with subsequent AKI. METHODS In the Predictors of Acute Renal Injury Study (PARIS), which enrolled 468 PWH from April 2016 to August 2019, we measured 10 urine biomarkers of kidney health (albumin, a1m, b2M, NGAL, IL18, KIM-1, EGF, UMOD, MCP-1, YKL40) at baseline and annually during follow-up. Using multivariable Cox regression models, we evaluated baseline and time-updated biomarker associations with the primary outcome of AKI (≥0.3 mg/dl or ≥1.5-times increase in serum creatinine from baseline) and secondary outcome of all-cause hospitalization. RESULTS At baseline, the mean age was 53 years old, and 45% self-identified as female. In time-updated models adjusting for sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and HIV-associated factors, higher KIM-1 [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.30 per twofold higher; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.63] and NGAL concentrations (HR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.06-1.44) were associated with higher risk of hospitalized AKI. Additionally, in multivariable, time-updated models, higher levels of KIM-1 (HR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.00, 1.41), NGAL (HR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.26), and MCP-1 (HR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.00, 1.45) were associated with higher risk of hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Urine biomarkers of kidney tubular injury, such as KIM-1 and NGAL, are strongly associated with AKI among PWH, and may hold potential for risk stratification of future AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease, for which estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories are early markers, is frequent in people living with HIV. SETTING Identify eGFR trajectory patterns according to kidney function and assess associated factors over a 13-year follow-up period. METHODS We evaluated longitudinal changes and its associated factors in eGFR of 3366 participants according to kidney function with a 2-level, linear, mixed model. RESULTS Participants with initial kidney dysfunction experienced a slight eGFR increase, whereas others showed a slight decrease. A weak relationship was observed between baseline eGFR and its variation over time. Baseline eGFR was affected by age, CD4 + count, viral load, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, AIDS-defining illness and tenofovir (TDF) with integrase inhibitor (INSTI) or efavirenz. Significant factors for eGFR change included the following: in kidney dysfunction, CD4 + cell count of >350 cells per cubic millimeter and undetectable viral load increased eGFR, whereas TDF + protease inhibitor decreased eGFR; in mildly decreased kidney function, CD4 + cell count of >350 cells per cubic millimeter, AIDS-defining illness, and TDF + efavirenz increased eGFR, whereas age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and TDF + INSTI decreased eGFR; in normal kidney function, age, CD4 + cell count of > 350 cells per cubic millimeter, undetectable viral load, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and TDF + INSTI decreased eGFR, whereas TDF + efavirenz increased eGFR (all P value for interaction < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that eGFR trajectories varied widely between individuals in people living with HIV. In the lower eGFR group, virus-related factors were more relevant, whereas traditional risk factors for renal dysfunction were more prominent in the highest eGFR group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tubular secretion is an important kidney function responsible for the clearance of numerous medications, including antibiotics and antivirals. It is unknown whether persons living with HIV have lower secretion compared with HIV-uninfected persons, which might predispose them to the risk of progressive kidney disease or adverse drug events. SETTING AND METHODS We evaluated a panel of 6 endogenous secretory solutes in 199 women living with HIV (WLWH) and 100 women without HIV enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study. Secretory clearance was estimated as the urine-to-plasma ratio of each solute, with adjustment for urine tonicity. Using multivariable linear regression analysis, we compared differences in levels of secretory solute clearance between women with and without HIV and evaluated characteristics associated with secretion. RESULTS WLWH were older (median 40 vs. 38 years) but had similar estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, 96 vs. 100 mL/minute/1.73 m 2 ) compared with those without HIV. African American and Latino race, diabetes, diastolic blood pressure, smoking, hepatitis C, peak HIV viral load, and current and nadir CD4 count were associated with differences in clearance of at least 1 marker after multivariable adjustment. The secretory clearance of 3 solutes (cinnamoylglycine, kynurenic acid, and pyridoxic acid) were on average 10%-15% lower among WLWH compared with those without HIV independent of eGFR, albuminuria and chronic kidney disease risk factors, including HCV, and injection drug use. CONCLUSIONS HIV is associated with reduced secretion among women with preserved eGFR. The implications of these findings for drug dosing and adverse events need to be evaluated.

Abstract
Importance Recent advances in treatment and prevention of HIV warrant updated recommendations to guide optimal practice. Objective Based on a critical evaluation of new data, to provide clinicians with recommendations on use of antiretroviral drugs for the treatment and prevention of HIV, laboratory monitoring, care of people aging with HIV, substance use disorder and HIV, and new challenges in people with HIV, including COVID-19 and monkeypox virus infection. Evidence Review A panel of volunteer expert physician scientists were appointed to update the 2020 consensus recommendations. Relevant evidence in the literature (PubMed and Embase searches, which initially yielded 7891 unique citations, of which 834 were considered relevant) and studies presented at peer-reviewed scientific conferences between January 2020 and October 2022 were considered. Findings Initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended as soon as possible after diagnosis of HIV. Barriers to care should be addressed, including ensuring access to ART and adherence support. Integrase strand transfer inhibitor-containing regimens remain the mainstay of initial therapy. For people who have achieved viral suppression with a daily oral regimen, long-acting injectable therapy with cabotegravir plus rilpivirine given as infrequently as every 2 months is now an option. Weight gain and metabolic complications have been linked to certain antiretroviral medications; novel strategies to ameliorate these complications are needed. Management of comorbidities throughout the life span is increasingly important, because people with HIV are living longer and confronting the health challenges of aging. In addition, management of substance use disorder in people with HIV requires an evidence-based, integrated approach. Options for preexposure prophylaxis include oral medications (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine) and, for the first time, a long-acting injectable agent, cabotegravir. Recent global health emergencies, like the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and monkeypox virus outbreak, continue to have a major effect on people with HIV and the delivery of services. To address these and other challenges, an equity-based approach is essential. Conclusions and Relevance Advances in treatment and prevention of HIV continue to improve outcomes, but challenges and opportunities remain.

Abstract
Introduction Tubulointerstitial damage in diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly captured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria. Urine biomarkers of kidney health may better elucidate disease progression in persons with diabetes and CKD. Methods Per case-cohort design, we randomly selected a subcohort of 560 study participants of the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study from 1092 adults with diabetes and baseline eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and registered a total of 161 end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) cases (n = 93 from the subcohort; n = 68 from outside the subcohort) during 4.3 ± 2.7 years mean follow-up. We measured urine biomarkers of kidney tubule injury (kidney injury molecule-1 [KIM-1]), inflammation and fibrosis (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1]), repair (chitinase-3-like protein 1 [YKL-40]), and tubule function, including reabsorption (alpha-1-microglobulin [α1m]) and synthetic capacity (epidermal growth factor [EGF] and uromodulin [UMOD]). Weighted Cox regression models estimated ESKD risk adjusting for demographics, ESKD risk factors, and baseline eGFR and urine albumin. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression identified a subset of biomarkers most strongly associated with ESKD. Results At baseline, subcohort participants had mean age of 70 ± 9 years, mean eGFR of 40 ±13 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and median urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 33 (interquartile range 10-213) mg/g. Adjusting for baseline eGFR and albuminuria, each 2-fold higher urine KIM-1 (hazard ratio = 1.43 [95% CI: 1.17-1.75]), α1m (hazard ratio = 1.47 [1.19-1.82]), and MCP-1 (hazard ratio = 1.27 [1.06-1.53]) were independently associated with ESKD. LASSO retained KIM-1 and α1m for associations with ESKD. Conclusion Among adults with diabetes and eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, higher urine KIM-1, α1m, and MCP-1 are independently associated with incident ESKD, providing insight into kidney disease progression in persons with diabetes and CKD.

Abstract
For over 70 years, serum creatinine has remained the primary index for detection and monitoring of kidney disease. Tubulointerstitial damage and fibrosis are highly prognostic for subsequent kidney failure in biopsy studies, yet this pathology is invisible to the clinician in the absence of a biopsy. Recent discovery of biomarkers that reflect distinct aspects of kidney tubule disease have led to investigations of whether these markers can provide additional information on risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and associated adverse clinical end points, above and beyond estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria. These biomarkers can be loosely grouped into those that mark tubule cell injury (eg, kidney injury molecule 1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) and those that mark tubule cell dysfunction (eg, α1-microglobulin, uromodulin). These kidney tubule biomarkers provide new opportunities to monitor response to therapeutics used to treat CKD patients. In this review, we describe results from some unique contributions in this area and discuss the current challenges and requirements in the field to bring these markers to clinical practice. We advocate for a broader assessment of kidney health that moves beyond a focus on the glomerulus, and we highlight how such tools can improve diagnostic accuracy and earlier assessment of therapeutic efficacy or harm in CKD patients.

Associations of CKD risk factors and longitudinal changes in urine biomarkers of kidney tubules among women living with HIV. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:296. [PMID: 34461840 PMCID: PMC8406753 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02508-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel urine biomarkers have enabled the characterization of kidney tubular dysfunction and injury among persons living with HIV, a population at an increased risk of kidney disease. Even though several urine biomarkers predict progressive kidney function decline, antiretroviral toxicity, and mortality in the setting of HIV infection, the relationships among the risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and urine biomarkers are unclear. METHODS We assessed traditional and infection-related CKD risk factors and measured 14 urine biomarkers at baseline and at follow-up among women living with HIV in the Women's Interagency Health Study (WIHS). We then used simultaneously adjusted multivariable linear regression models to evaluate the associations of CKD risk factors with longitudinal changes in biomarker levels. RESULTS Of the 647 women living with HIV in this analysis, the majority (67%) were Black, the median age was 45 years and median follow-up time was 2.5 years. Each traditional and infection-related CKD risk factor was associated with a unique set of changes in urine biomarkers. For example, baseline hemoglobin a1c was associated with worse tubular injury (higher interleukin [IL]-18), proximal tubular reabsorptive dysfunction (higher α1-microglobulin), tubular reserve (lower uromodulin) and immune response to injury (higher chitinase-3-like protein-1 [YKL-40]). Furthermore, increasing hemoglobin a1c at follow-up was associated with further worsening of tubular injury (higher kidney injury molecule-1 [KIM-1] and IL-18), as well as higher YKL-40. HCV co-infection was associated with worsening proximal tubular reabsorptive dysfunction (higher β2-microglobulin [β2m]), and higher YKL-40, whereas HIV viremia was associated with worsening markers of tubular and glomerular injury (higher KIM-1 and albuminuria, respectively). CONCLUSIONS CKD risk factors are associated with unique patterns of biomarker changes among women living with HIV, suggesting that serial measurements of multiple biomarkers may help in detecting and monitoring kidney disease in this setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Individual kidney tubule biomarkers are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk in people living with HIV (PLWH). Whether a combination of kidney biomarkers can be integrated into informative summary scores for PLWH is unknown. METHODS We measured eight urine biomarkers of kidney tubule health at two visits over a 3-year period in 647 women living with HIV in the Women's Interagency Health Study. We integrated biomarkers into factor scores using exploratory factor analysis. We evaluated associations between CKD risk factors and factor scores, and used generalized estimating equations to determine associations between factor scores and risk of incident CKD. RESULTS Factor analysis identified two unique factor scores: a tubule reabsorption score comprising alpha-1-microglobulin, beta-2-microglobulin and trefoil factor-3; and a tubule injury score comprising interleukin-18 and kidney injury molecule-1. We modelled the two factor scores in combination with urine epidermal growth factor (EGF) and urine albumin. Predominantly HIV-related CKD risk factors were independently associated with worsening tubule reabsorption scores and tubule injury scores. During a median follow-up of 7 years, 9.7% (63/647) developed CKD. In multivariable time-updated models that adjusted for other factor scores and biomarkers simultaneously, higher tubule reabsorption scores [risk ratio (RR) = 1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.59 per 1 SD higher time-updated score], higher tubule injury scores (RR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.05-1.76), lower urine EGF (RR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64-0.87), and higher urine albumin (RR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.02-1.40) were jointly associated with risk of incident CKD. CONCLUSIONS We identified two novel and distinct dimensions of kidney tubule health that appear to quantify informative metrics of CKD risk in PLWH.

Abstract
Objectives People living with HIV (PLWH) have a high risk of kidney injury. Measurement of serum creatinine, along with proteinuria, is not sensitive to detect early kidney injury. Here, we investigated novel urinary biomarkers of early renal injury in PLWH. Methods We performed a cross‐sectional study of 166 antiretroviral‐naïve PLWH and 99 HIV‐negative persons who all had an estimated glomerular filtration rate > 90 mL/min/1.73 m2. We compared the levels of seven urinary biomarkers between the two groups using the propensity score matching (PSM) approach and explored the risk factors associated with elevated urinary biomarkers in PLWH. Results Eighty‐three pairs were successfully matched based on PSM. Compared with the HIV‐negative group, the HIV‐positive group had higher ratios of N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase (NAG) to urine creatinine (UCr), alpha1‐microglobulin (α1‐M) to UCr, kidney injury marker‐1 (KIM‐1) to UCr, neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin to UCr, and epidermal growth factor to UCr, whereas the Tamm–Horsfall protein to UCr ratio and the abnormal albumin to UCr ratio were not significantly different. Positive correlations were observed between HIV RNA level and NAG: UCr (rs = 0.32; P < 0.001) and α1‐M:UCr (rs = 0.24; P = 0.002) ratios, and negative correlations were observed between CD4 cell count and NAG:UCr (rs = –0.34; P < 0.001), KIM‐1:UCr (rs = –0.16; P = 0.042) and α1‐M:UCr (rs = –0.36; P < 0.001) ratios. In multivariate linear regression analyses, older age, lower total cholesterol and higher HIV RNA were independently associated with higher NAG:UCr; older age, lower total cholesterol and lower CD4 cell count were independently associated with higher α1‐M:UCr. Conclusions In comparioson with HIV‐negative participants, PLWH were more likely to have tubular injury. Early antiretroviral treatment might mitigate the development of kidney injury.

Outcome Incident CKD, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at two 6-month visits and an average eGFR decline ≥ 3% per year. Analytical Approach We used multivariable generalized estimating equations adjusting for CKD risk factors to evaluate baseline, time-updated, and change-over-time biomarker associations with incident CKD. We compared CKD discrimination between models with and without a parsimoniously selected set of biomarkers. Results During a median 7 years of follow-up, 9.7% (63/647) developed CKD. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, 3 of 14 baseline biomarkers associated with incident CKD. In contrast, 10 of 14 time-updated biomarkers and 9 of 14 biomarkers modeled as change over time associated with incident CKD. Urinary epidermal growth factor (EGF), α1-microglobulin (A1M), and albumin were selected using penalized regression methods. In the time-updated model, lower urinary EGF (risk ratio [RR] per 2-fold higher time-updated biomarker levels, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.58-0.81), higher urinary A1M (RR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.25-1.73), and higher urinary albumin excretion (RR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.03-1.42) were jointly associated with increased risk for CKD. Compared with a base model (C statistic, 0.75), CKD discrimination improved after adding urinary EGF, A1M, and albumin values across baseline (C = 0.81), time-updated (C = 0.83), and change-over-time (C = 0.83) models (P < 0.01 for all). Limitations Observational design, incident CKD definition limited to eGFR. Conclusions Repeat urinary biomarker measurements for kidney tubule health have stronger associations with incident CKD compared with baseline measurements and moderately improve CKD discrimination in women living with HIV infection.

Abstract
RATIONALE Tenofovir (TFV) is a first-line antiviral agent against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is recommended for the prevention of mother-to-infant transmission of HBV. To study the distribution of TFV in umbilical cord plasma and amniotic fluid of HBV-infected pregnant women, a rapid and sensitive method for TFV determination was developed and validated. METHODS The quantification method was developed using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The analytes were separated on an Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column under gradient elution with methanol and 0.01% ammonia solution in 10 mM ammonium acetate/water. This is the first reported method for the determination of TFV using alkaline rather than acidic mobile phases. Linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of quantification, specificity and stability were assessed. RESULTS Detection of TFV was achieved within 4 min. The calibration curves for TFV quantification showed excellent linearity in the range of 1-500 ng/mL. The intra- and interbatch precision and accuracy ranged from -4.35% to 6.92%. This method was successfully applied to determination of samples from 50 HBV mono-infected women undergoing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy. The mean concentrations of TFV in the umbilical cord and amniotic fluid samples were 29.2 (4.6-86) and 470.9 (156-902) ng/mL, respectively, which showed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.5299, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS A simple, rapid but sensitive bioanalytical method to determine TFV concentration in both umbilical cord plasma and amniotic fluid using LC/MS/MS was developed and applied to HBV-infected women during labor who were undergoing TDF therapy, which will help us understand the efficacy and safety of tenofovir during pregnancy.

Abstract
The current unidimensional paradigm of kidney disease detection is incompatible with the complexity and heterogeneity of renal pathology. The diagnosis of kidney disease has largely focused on glomerular filtration, while assessment of kidney tubular health has notably been absent. Following insult, the kidney tubular cells undergo a cascade of cellular responses that result in the production and accumulation of low-molecular-weight proteins in the urine and systemic circulation. Modern advancements in molecular analysis and proteomics have allowed the identification and quantification of these proteins as biomarkers for assessing and characterizing kidney diseases. In this review, we highlight promising biomarkers of kidney tubular health that have strong underpinnings in the pathophysiology of kidney disease. These biomarkers have been applied to various specific clinical settings from the spectrum of acute to chronic kidney diseases, demonstrating the potential to improve patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir disoproxial fumurate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC) on kidney function and kidney tubular health. DESIGN The Iniciativa Profilaxis Pre-Exposicion open-label extension (iPrEx-OLE) study enrolled former PrEP trial participants to receive open-label TDF/FTC. This study included 123 iPrEx-OLE participants who demonstrated PrEP adherence. METHODS We compared estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using serum creatinine (eGFRcr), serum cystatin C (eGFRcys), and in combination (eGFRcr-cys), and a panel of 14 urine biomarkers reflecting kidney tubular health before and 6 months after PrEP initiation. RESULTS At baseline, mean eGFRcr, eGFRcys, and eGFRcr-cys were 108.3, 107.0, and 111.1 ml/min per 1.73 m, respectively. Six months after PrEP initiation, eGFRcr declined by -4% (95% CI: -5.7 to -2.4%), eGFRcys declined by -3.3% (95% CI: -8.3 to 1.9%), and eGFRcr-cys declined by -4.1% (95% CI: -7.5 to -0.7%). From the urine biomarker panel, α1-microglobulin and β2-microglobulin increased by 22.7% (95% CI: 11.8--34.7%) and 14.1% (95% CI: -6.1 to 38.6%), whereas chitinase-3-like 1 protein and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 decreased by -37.7% (95% CI: -53.0 to -17.3%) and -15.6% (95% CI: -31.6 to 4.2%), respectively. Ten of the 14 urine biomarkers, including albumin, had estimated changes of less than 12% with wide confidence intervals. CONCLUSION Six months of PrEP with TDF/FTC was associated with decreases in eGFRcr and eGFRcys. We also observed for the first time changes in flour of 14 urine biomarkers reflecting kidney tubular health. These findings demonstrate that PrEP has direct effects on eGFR and the proximal tubule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs commonly among HIV-infected persons. Statins may delay CKD onset and progression through their cholesterol-lowering and pleiotropic effects. METHODS Among 850 HIV-infected men from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study with stored urine samples (2009-2011), we evaluated cross-sectional associations of statin use with urine biomarkers of kidney damage [albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), alpha-1-microglobulin, interleukin-18, kidney injury molecule-1, and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide] using multivariable linear regression. We evaluated the longitudinal associations of statin use with annual change in estimated glomerular filtration rate by creatinine (eGFR) using linear mixed models, and with incident proteinuria and incident CKD (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m) using Cox proportional hazards regression. We used inverse probability weighting to address potential confounding related to statin use. RESULTS Statin users comprised 30% of participants. In adjusted analyses, each year of cumulative statin use was associated with 4.0% higher baseline ACR levels (P = 0.05), but there was no association with baseline levels of other urine biomarkers. Statin use had no overall association with annual eGFR decline. Among participants with baseline proteinuria, statin use was modestly associated with slower annual eGFR decline compared to non-use (adjusted difference: 1.33 mL/min/1.73 m per year; 95% confidence interval: -0.07 to 2.70). Statin use was not associated with risk of incident proteinuria or incident CKD. CONCLUSIONS Statin use was associated with higher baseline ACR, but not with biomarkers of tubulointerstitial injury. Statin use was associated with modestly slower eGFR decline only among participants with baseline proteinuria. Although these findings may be susceptible to confounding by indication, they suggest a limited effect of statins on CKD risk among HIV-infected men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV-infected (HIV+) persons are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease, but serum creatinine does not detect early losses in kidney function. We hypothesized that urine biomarkers of kidney damage would be associated with subsequent changes in kidney function in a contemporary cohort of HIV+ and HIV-uninfected (HIV-) men. METHODS In the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, we measured baseline urine concentrations of 5 biomarkers from 2009 to 2011 in 860 HIV+ and 337 HIV- men: albumin, alpha-1-microglobulin (α1m), interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP). We evaluated associations of urine biomarker concentrations with annual changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using multivariable linear mixed models adjusted for demographics, traditional kidney disease risk factors, HIV-related risk factors, and baseline eGFR. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 4.8 years, the average annual eGFR decline was 1.42 mL/min/1.73 m2/year in HIV+ men and 1.22 mL/min/1.73 m2/year in HIV- men. Among HIV+ men, the highest vs. lowest tertiles of albumin (-1.78 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI -3.47 to -0.09) and α1m (-2.43 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI -4.14 to -0.73) were each associated with faster annual eGFR declines after multivariable adjustment. Among HIV- men, the highest vs. lowest tertile of α1m (-2.49 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, 95% CI -4.48 to -0.50) was independently associated with faster annual eGFR decline. Urine IL-18, KIM-1, and PIIINP showed no independent associations with eGFR decline, regardless of HIV serostatus. CONCLUSIONS Among HIV+ men, higher urine albumin and α1m are associated with subsequent declines in kidney function, independent of eGFR.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent event in hospitalized patients, with an incidence that continues to rise, reaching as high as 70-80% in intensive care settings. The need for dialysis and progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) after an episode of AKI is relatively low, from 5 to 20%. However, it is now recognized that patients with AKI may have very different kidney outcomes, varying from complete recovery, incipient chronic kidney disease (CKD), to progression to ESKD. Recent studies have shown that even mild AKI episodes can be associated with a 90% increased risk of developing CKD during long-term follow-up. There is a significant need to focus our efforts on factors that could mitigate the progression of kidney dysfunction and ultimately improve outcomes from AKI. The first step toward this goal encompasses a better understanding of tubular and glomerular alterations during and following an AKI episode. Our current approach, based solely on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), is flawed, since the loss of kidney function does not correspond to the degree of decline in estimated GFR (eGFR), and eGFR does not reflect tubular function. Changes in tubular concentration, reabsorptive and secretory capacity are recognized in AKI; however, they have not been incorporated in clinical assessments of overall kidney function. Here we review a few candidates to assess glomerular filtration/permeability, tubular dysfunction, and injury and how we expect these markers to alter during the development and recovery phase of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients treated for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are prone to developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Current methods used in assessing kidney function suffer inaccuracy in HIV-infected patients. This study aims to identify biomarkers that could complement existing methods of kidney assessment among HIV-infected subjects. METHODS Plasma protein profiling was performed for HIV patients with CKD presented with negative/trace proteinuria (non-proteinuric) (n = 8) and their matched non-CKD controls, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE); selected protein candidates were identified using mass spectrometry. Subsequently, altered plasma abundance of protein candidates were verified using Western blotting in HIV-infected subjects with non-proteinuric CKD (n = 8), proteinuric CKD (n = 5), and their matched non-CKD controls, as well as in HIV-uninfected subjects with impaired kidney function (n = 3) and their matched controls. RESULTS Analysis of 2DE found significantly altered abundance of five protein candidates between HIV-infected patients with non-proteinuric CKD and without CKD: alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M), serum albumin (ALB), zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (AZGP1), haptoglobin (HP), and retinol binding protein (RBP4). Western blotting showed an increased abundance of A1M and HP in HIV-infected patients with non-proteinuric CKD compared to their non-CKD controls, whereas A1M, AZGP1, and RBP4 were significantly increased in HIV-infected patients with proteinuric CKD compared to their non-CKD controls. Such pattern was not found in HIV-uninfected subjects with impaired kidney function. CONCLUSION The data suggests four proteins that may be used as biomarkers of CKD in HIV-infected patients. Further validation in a larger cohort of HIV-infected patients is necessary for assessing the clinical use of these proposed biomarkers for CKD.

Abstract
Urine markers can quantify tubular function including reabsorption (α-1 microglobulin [α1m]) and β-2-microglobulin [β2m]) and protein synthesis (uromodulin). Individuals with tubular dysfunction may be less able to compensate to insults than those without, despite similar estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria. Among Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) participants with an eGFR under 60 ml/min/1.73m2, we measured urine markers of tubular function and injury (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], kidney injury molecule-1 [KIM-1], interleukin-18 [IL-18], monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and chitinase-3-like protein [YKL-40]) at baseline. Cox models evaluated associations with subsequent acute kidney injury (AKI) risk, adjusting for clinical risk factors, baseline eGFR and albuminuria, and the tubular function and injury markers. In a random subset, we remeasured biomarkers after four years, and compared changes in biomarkers in those with and without intervening AKI. Among 2351 participants, 184 experienced AKI during 3.8 years mean follow-up. Lower uromodulin (hazard ratio per two-fold higher (0.68, 95% confidence interval [0.56, 0.83]) and higher α1m (1.20; [1.01, 1.44]) were associated with subsequent AKI, independent of eGFR and albuminuria. None of the five injury markers were associated with eventual AKI. In the random subset of 947 patients with repeated measurements, the 59 patients with intervening AKI versus without had longitudinal increases in urine NGAL, IL-19, and YKL-40 and only 1 marker of tubule function (α1m). Thus, joint evaluation of tubule function and injury provided novel insights to factors predisposing to AKI, and responses to kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) is becoming increasingly adopted for HIV prevention. Tenofovir can cause proximal tubular damage and chronic kidney disease in HIV-infected persons, but little is known regarding its nephrotoxic potential among HIV-uninfected persons. In this study, we evaluated the effects of PrEP on urine levels of the following: α1-microglobulin (α1m), a marker of impaired tubular reabsorption; albuminuria, a measure of glomerular injury; and total proteinuria. SETTING The Iniciativa Profilaxis Pre-Exposicion (iPrEx) study randomized HIV-seronegative men and transgender women who have sex with men to oral TDF/FTC or placebo. The iPrEx open-label extension (iPrEx-OLE) study enrolled former PrEP trial participants to receive open-label TDF/FTC. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis compared urine biomarker levels by study arm in iPrEx (N = 100 treatment arm, N = 100 placebo arm). Then, urine biomarker levels were compared before and after PrEP initiation in 109 participants of iPrEx-OLE. RESULTS In iPrEx, there were no significant differences in urine α1m, albuminuria, or proteinuria by treatment arm. In iPrEx-OLE, after 24 weeks on PrEP, urine α1m and proteinuria increased by 21% [95% confidence interval (CI): 10 to 33] and 18% (95% CI: 8 to 28), respectively. The prevalence of detectable α1m increased from 44% to 65% (P < 0.001) and estimated glomerular filtration rate declined by 4 mL/min/1.73 m (P < 0.001). There was no significant change in albuminuria (6%; 95% CI: -7% to 20%). CONCLUSION PrEP with TDF/FTC was associated with a statistically significant rise in urine α1m and proteinuria after 6 months, suggesting that PrEP may result in subclinical tubule dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Urinary biomarkers of kidney injury may have potential to identify subclinical injury attributable to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) toxicity. DESIGN This observational study included 198 HIV-infected participants from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and the Women's Interagency HIV Study, who initiated TDF between 2009 and 2015 and had urine samples collected at baseline before and after TDF initiation. METHODS We used linear mixed-effects models controlling for urine creatinine and time on TDF to evaluate the effects of TDF initiation on changes in 14 urinary biomarkers. RESULTS Within 1 year after TDF initiation, concentrations of trefoil factor 3 [+78%; 95% confidence interval (CI) +38%, +129%), alpha-1 microglobulin (α1m) (+32%; 95% CI +13%, +55%), clusterin (+21%; 95% CI +6%, +38%), uromodulin (+19%; 95% CI +4%, +36%), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) (+13%; 95% CI +1%, +26%) significantly increased, whereas interleukin-18 (IL-18) significantly decreased (-13%, 95% CI -7%, -25%). Subsequent to the first year of TDF use, biomarker concentrations stabilized, and these changes were not statistically significant. When stratifying by baseline viremia (HIV-1 RNA < vs. ≥80 copies/ml), concentration changes for most biomarkers during the first year of TDF use were greater among aviremic vs. viremic participants, with significant differences in α1m (+80 vs. +22%), KIM-1 (+43 vs. +10%), beta-2 microglobulin (+83 vs. -10%), YKL-40 (+33 vs. -5%), and IL-18 (+20 vs. -27%). CONCLUSIONS TDF initiation was associated with substantial changes in urinary biomarkers of kidney injury within the first year of use, particularly among aviremic participants. A urinary biomarker panel may be a clinically useful tool to detect and monitor the heterogeneous effects of TDF on the kidney.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Factors affecting kidney function and proteinuria among HIV-positive (HIV+) and HIV-negative (HIV-) persons need better characterization. METHODS We evaluated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, ml/min per 1.73 m) changes, proteinuria prevalence (a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of ≥0.2 at two consecutive visits) and associated factors among HIV+ and HIV- men. RESULTS There were 917 HIV+ men receiving HAART, 159 HIV+ men not receiving HAART, and 1305 HIV- men seen from October 2003 to September 2014. Median annual eGFR change was -0.5, -0.8% for HIV+ and -0.3% for HIV- men (P < 0.001). Factors significantly (P < 0.05) associated with more than 3% annual eGFR decline were HAART receipt (but no specific antiretroviral drug), age more than 50, hypertension, diabetes, current smoking. Proteinuria existed in 14.9% of visit-pairs among HAART recipients, 5.8% among non-HAART recipients, and 1.9% among HIV- men, and was associated with subsequent annual more than 3% eGFR decline (odds ratio 1.80, P < 0.001). Proteinuria-associated factors also included HAART use (vs. HIV-), age at least 50 (vs. <40), diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, hepatitis C virus-infection (all P < 0.05) and, among HIV+ men, lower CD4 cell count, didanosine, saquinavir, or nelfinavir use (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for proteinuria, among HAART users, having a detectable HIV RNA, cumulative use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, emtricitabine, ritonavir, atazanavir, any protease inhibitor, or fluconazole were associated with more than 3% annual eGFR decline. CONCLUSION Longitudinal kidney function decline was associated with HAART use but no individual antiretroviral drug, and traditional kidney disease risks. Proteinuria was nearly seven times more common in HAART-treated men than HIV- men, reflected recent eGFR decline and predicted subsequent eGFR decline.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The antiviral agent tenofovir is highly effective for the treatment of HIV and hepatitis B virus infections, and the older prodrug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is also a component of daily preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of HIV infection in high-risk populations. Although TDF is well tolerated, the potential for kidney and bone toxicity has important implications for public health given the large number of individuals exposed to TDF worldwide. This review summarizes the recent literature on kidney and bone health in individuals treated with TDF and the newer prodrug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). RECENT FINDINGS Risk factors for TDF toxicity appear to be similar in patients treated for HIV or hepatitis B virus and in HIV-uninfected PrEP users, although drug-drug interactions are a more important concern in HIV-positive individuals. The risk of toxicity appears to be lower with TAF, but further studies are needed to confirm the safety of long-term use and to evaluate the efficacy of TAF-based PrEP. SUMMARY Nephrologists should be aware of the potential kidney and bone toxicity of TDF, as well as unique situations in which the newer prodrug TAF may contribute to kidney injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) increases the risk of kidney tubular dysfunction (KTD). This study was conducted to elucidate whether KTD persists after discontinuation of TDF. DESIGN A prospective cross-sectional study which enrolled 941 HIV-1-infected patients. METHODS KTD was predefined as the presence of at least two abnormalities among the five tubular markers (fractional excretion of phosphate, fractional excretion of uric acid, β2 microglobulinuria, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, nondiabetic glycosuria). Logistic regression model was used to examine the association between KTD and cumulative TDF use, as well as current status of TDF use. RESULTS In total, 94% of study patients were men (median age 45, estimated glomerular filtration rate 75 ml/min per 1.73 m, CD4 575 cells/μl. About 98% were on antiretroviral therapy. In total, 64% of the patients ever used TDF and 39% currently used TDF. Twenty-nine percent used TDF for more than 5 years. KTD was diagnosed in 116 (12%) patients. In multivariate model, more than 5 years of TDF exposure and current TDF use [odds ratio (OR) 4.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.37-7.56], more than 5 years and past TDF use (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.09-5.33), less than 5 years and current TDF (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.24-4.85), and less than 5 years and past TDF (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.22-4.64) were all significantly associated with KTD, with never TDF use as reference. The results were the same using 4 and 3 years of exposure as the cutoff. However, with 2 years exposure, both less than 2 years and current TDF (OR 2.3, 95% CI 0.84-6.20) and less than 2 years and past TDF (OR 1.9, 95% CI 0.73-4.93) were not associated with KTD, whereas both more than 2 years and current TDF and more than 2 years and past TDF were associated. CONCLUSION The association between cumulative TDF use and KTD was strong and robust. The results of the study suggested that TDF-related KTD might persist after discontinuation of TDF if patients used TDF for more than 2 years.

Abstract
In developed countries, remarkable advances in antiretroviral therapy have transformed HIV infection into a chronic condition. As a result, HIV-associated nephropathy, the classic HIV-driven kidney lesion among individuals of African descent, has largely disappeared in these regions. However, HIV-positive blacks continue to have much higher rates of ESRD than HIV-positive whites, which could be attributed to the APOL1 renal risk variants. Additionally, HIV-positive individuals face adverse consequences beyond HIV itself, including traditional risk factors for CKD and nephrotoxic effects of antiretroviral therapy. Concerns for nephrotoxicity also extend to HIV-negative individuals using tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based pre-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of HIV infection. Therefore, CKD remains an important comorbid condition in the HIV-positive population and an emerging concern among HIV-negative persons receiving pre-exposure prophylaxis. With the improved longevity of HIV-positive individuals, a kidney transplant has become a viable option for many who have progressed to ESRD. Herein, we review the growing knowledge regarding the APOL1 renal risk variants in the context of HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy-related nephrotoxicity, and developments in kidney transplantation among HIV-positive individuals.

Abstract
Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Human immunodeficiency virus infection, traditional CKD risk factors, and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) may all contribute. Methods We compared prevalence of renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 mL/min/1.73m2), albuminuria (albumin/creatinine ratio ≥3 mg/mmol), and proximal renal tubular dysfunction (retinol-binding protein/creatinine ratio >2.93μg/mmol and/or fractional phosphate excretion >20% with plasma phosphate <0.8 mmol/L) in 596 HIV-infected and 544 HIV-uninfected AGEhIV Cohort Study participants. We also assessed whether being HIV-infected on cART, with follow-up censored when cART regimen was modified, was associated with greater eGFR decline or worsening albuminuria (increase ≥10%/year with change in albuminuria category). Results Human immunodeficiency virus infection was independently associated with renal impairment (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0-4.4), albuminuria (aOR = 5.8; 95% CI = 3.7-9.0), and proximal renal tubular dysfunction (aOR = 7.0; 95% CI = 4.9-10.2]). Among 377 HIV-infected and 479 HIV-uninfected individuals (median follow-up = 3.9/4.1 years, respectively) included in longitudinal analyses, being HIV-infected and remaining on unmodified cART was independently associated with greater eGFR decline (-0.56; 95% CI = -0.87 to -0.24 mL/min/1.73m2/year) and worsening albuminuria (aOR = 2.3; 95% CI = 1.3-4.0). Conclusions In these middle-aged individuals, HIV infection was independently associated with renal impairment, albuminuria, and proximal renal tubular dysfunction. Human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals on cART (predominantly containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) were also more likely to experience eGFR decline and worsening albuminuria compared with HIV-uninfected individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent comorbidity in persons living with HIV infection (PLWH) associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, early diagnosis of CKD is difficult in PLWH. Areas covered: We reviewed the main diagnostic tools for CKD in PLWH, and discussed their strengths and limits. We performed a literature search on PubMed to identify reviews and clinical trials dealing with attractive kidney biomarkers of CKD in PLWH, with the following key words: 'HIV AND kidney', 'HIV AND Kidney biomarkers', 'CKD AND Kidney biomarkers'. Expert commentary: Currently, CKD diagnosis is based on the estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), and measurement of proteinuria by urine protein/creatinine ratio (uPCR). These parameters are independent and complementary predictors of outcomes. GFR estimates are lacking in accuracy in PLWH. The best GFR estimate is CKD-EPI study equation. Moreover, low-grade proteinuria is associated with an increased risk of kidney disease progression in PLWH, and guidelines derived from the general population may lack sensitivity. Different biomarkers of kidney diseases like N-acetyl beta glucosaminidase (NAG), Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1), and Alpha-1-microglobulin may predict kidney disease progression and mortality in PLWH. Others may help clinicians detect antiretroviral-induced tubulopathy, or predict cardiovascular events. More studies are needed to validate the routine use of these types of biomarkers.

Abstract
Exposure to heavy metals can cause renal injury, which has been well documented in occupational exposure. Studies of low exposure in the general population, however, are still scarce, particularly for vulnerable populations such as mothers and young children. This study evaluated exposure to heavy metals, and biomarkers of renal function and oxidative stress in 944 lactating mothers and their infants and investigated the role of the interaction between heavy metals and oxidative stress in altering renal function. Mother and infant urine samples were analyzed to measure mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) concentrations for determining body-burden exposure; N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), albumin (ALB), and creatinine (Cr) concentrations for determining early renal injury; and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations for determining oxidative stress. The median concentrclearlyations in mothers presented as μg/g Cr (infants as μg/l) for Hg, Cd, and Pb were 0.695 (0.716), 0.322 (0.343), and 3.97 (5.306) respectively. The mothers and their infants had clearly been exposed to heavy metals and had levels higher than the reference values reported for the general populations of USA, Germany, and Canada. Multiple regression analyses clearly demonstrated associations between urinary heavy metals in quartiles and several renal and oxidative biomarkers in mothers and to a lesser extent their infants. ß coefficients for urinary excretions of MDA, 8-OHdG, ALB, α1-MG, NAG, and Cr in mothers were high in the highest quartile of Hg (1.183-51.29μg/g Cr or 1.732-106.95μg/l), Cd (0.565-765.776μg/g Cr or 0.785-1347.0μg/l), and Pb (6.606-83.937μg/g Cr or 9.459-80.826μg/l), except Pb was not associated with ALB. Infants in the highest Pb quartile (9.293-263.098μg/l) had the highest ß coefficients of urinary excretion of MDA, 8-OHdG, ALB, NAG, and Cr. Significant increasing trend in biomarkers across the quartiles of the three metals was seen in both mothers and infants (ptrend <0.001). A receiver operating characteristic analysis supported the predictive abilities of the four renal biomarkers in discriminating between low versus high metal quartiles. The interaction between heavy metals and oxidative stress contributed to the high excretions of renal biomarkers, but the mechanism remains unclear. These findings add to the limited evidence that low exposure to heavy metals in the general population is associated with alterations in renal function that could eventually progress to renal damage if exposure continues and that children are more susceptible due to the immaturity of their body organs.

Abstract
Renal disease is a common complication of HIV-infected patients, associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, progression to AIDS, AIDS-defining illness, and mortality. Early and accurate identification of renal disease is therefore crucial to improve patient outcomes. The use of serum creatinine, along with proteinuria, to detect renal involvement is essentially to screen for markers of glomerular disease and may not be effective in detecting earlier stages of renal injury. Therefore, more sensitive and specific markers are needed in order to early identify HIV-infected patients at risk of renal disease. This review article summarizes some new and important urinary markers of tubular injury in HIV-infected patients and their clinical usefulness in the renal safety follow-up of TDF-treated patients.
