Abstract
AIM Weight gain with the use of dolutegravir, bictegravir, and tenofovir alafenamide for antiretroviral therapy has been reported. However, studies on changes in body composition and the leptin/adiponectin ratio after antiretroviral therapy initiation are limited. These factors are important because they can be used as indicators of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the changes in waist circumference, body composition, and adipokine levels after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy consisting of dolutegravir, bictegravir, and tenofovir alafenamide and evaluate the relationships between these parameters in Japanese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus. METHODS This is a single-center, prospective, observational study. Waist circumference, body composition, and adipokine levels were measured at baseline and 12 months after antiretroviral therapy initiation in antiretroviral therapy-naive Japanese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis. RESULTS We included 11 patients (10 bictegravir/TAF/emtricitabine, 1 dolutegravir/lamivudine) in this study. The results showed no significant changes in waist circumference and body composition among the patients. The leptin/adiponectin ratio and serum leptin levels significantly increased after antiretroviral therapy initiation. Changes in waist circumference, fat mass, and visceral fat area showed a strong positive correlation. CONCLUSION The leptin/adiponectin ratio increased following antiretroviral therapy initiation. The waist circumference measurement can be a simple, inexpensive, and useful method to identify changes in fat mass and visceral fat area after initiation of antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the impact of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) on the slope of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with that of abacavir in Japanese patients living with HIV infection. METHODS The participants in this single-centre, retrospective, observational study were Japanese patients with HIV infection who started antiretroviral therapy with TAF/emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine or were switched from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine to TAF/emtricitabine or abacavir/lamivudine (anchor drugs remained constant) between January 2012 and December 2020. The eGFR slope was defined as the regression coefficient between eGFR and time. The study outcome was rapid kidney function decline (RKFD; eGFR slope < -5 mL/min/1.73 m2 /year). The adjusted effect of TAF on the eGFR slope was compared with that of abacavir using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The study included 184 patients (with 2835 eGFR data points). The median duration of exposure to TAF or abacavir was 2.6 years [interquartile range (IQR): 1.7-3.3], and the median eGFR slope was -4.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 /year (IQR: -6.4 to -1.2). In all, 72 patients (39%) experienced RKFD. Patients receiving TAF were more likely to experience RKFD (adjusted odds ratio = 3.74) than those receiving abacavir. There was a significant independent association between baseline eGFR and RKFD. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that renal function should be monitored carefully after the initiation of TAF in Japanese patients with HIV infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is limited data on the effects of switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) on estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) slope in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This study aimed to compare the eGFR slope when administering TDF and TAF and to investigate the predictors of improvement in eGFR slope after switching from TDF to TAF. METHODS We conducted a single-center, retrospective, observational study in Japanese patients with HIV infection who switched the antiretroviral drug from TDF to TAF. eGFR was calculated using serum cystatin C. The eGFR slope was defined as the regression coefficient between eGFR and time. Differences between eGFR slope during TDF and TAF administration were compared using Wilcoxon signed rank test. A stepwise logistic regression model was used to examine the associations between improvement of eGFR slope after switching from TDF to TAF and various parameters. RESULTS Overall, 63 patients (656 eGFR) were included in the analysis. The median analyzed durations of TDF and TAF exposures were 1.6 and 1.5 years, respectively. There were no significant differences between eGFR slope during TDF and TAF periods (median: 0.6 vs. 4.0 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.165). The eGFR slopes during the TDF period and while switching from TDF to TAF were independent predictors of improvement in eGFR slope after switching from TDF to TAF. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that patients with poor renal function and those with progressive worsening during TDF administration would benefit from switching to TAF.

Abstract
A single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted between September 2016 and August 2018 in 33 HIV-positive Japanese patients who switched antiretroviral drug regimens from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). The study assessed changes in urinary levels of liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) after switching from TDF to TAF and determined the potential of renal parameters to predict improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Median urinary levels of L-FABP were found to be 2.0, 1.4, and 1.3 µg/g creatinine before, at 6 months, and at 12 months after switching to TAF, respectively. The urinary levels of L-FABP, β2 microglobulin (β2MG), and eGFR and the protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR) were not significantly related to the annual change in eGFR after switching from TDF to TAF. Our results demonstrate a significant decrease in urinary levels of L-FABP after switching from TDF to TAF. However, neither urinary L-FABP, β2MG, PCR, nor eGFR predicted the annual change in eGFR after the change in medication.

Abstract
Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is known to reduce estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). It is clinically important to identify patients at high risk for renal dysfunction as early as possible. Among the tubular markers, urinary β2 microglobulin (Uβ2MG) is a well-known biomarker of TDF-related tubulopathy. However, renal dysfunction has often been occurred in patients receiving TDF with low Uβ2MG levels. Recently, urinary liver-type fatty acid–binding protein (UL-FABP) was suggested to be predictor of the progression of renal dysfunction. Thus, we focused on UL-FABP in patients receiving TDF with low Uβ2MG levels. Methods A retrospective, observational, single-center study, between January 2013 and December 2016, was conducted. Two renal end points (> 25% decrement in eGFR and > 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrement relative to the baseline) were assessed. To estimate the effect of UL-FABP on time to the first event, log-rank test was performed. Results A total of 24 Japanese outpatients with human immunodeficiency virus receiving TDF were enrolled. The outcome each occurred in two patients during the follow-up period. UL-FABP levels ≥4.0 μg/g creatinine was significantly associated with > 25% decrement and > 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrement (p = 0.006 and 0.001, respectively). Conclusion Based on our preliminary analysis, UL-FABP levels ≥4.0 μg/g creatinine predict renal dysfunction in patients receiving TDF with low Uβ2MG levels.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction is recognized with increasing frequency among the non-infectious co-morbidities associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Recently, urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) was suggested to be a predictor of the progression of renal dysfunction in patients without HIV. However, little is known regarding the utility of urinary L-FABP as a predictor of renal dysfunction in patients with HIV. A retrospective, observational, single-centre study was conducted between July 2014 and December 2016. The primary outcome was renal dysfunction defined as decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate to less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. To estimate the effect of urinary L-FABP, proteinuria category, and urinary β2 microglobulin (β2MG) on the time to the first event, a log-rank test was performed. Accuracy, determined by area under the curve and calculated from receiver operating characteristic curves, was also assessed. Thirty Japanese outpatients with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) were enrolled. The primary outcome occurred in five patients during the follow-up period. Urinary L-FABP level and proteinuria category were significantly associated with renal dysfunction (p = 0.045 and p = 0.037, respectively). In contrast, urinary β2MG level was not significantly associated with renal dysfunction (p = 0.141). Urinary L-FABP was the most accurate predictor of renal dysfunction among the three urinary parameters. In conclusion, urinary L-FABP levels in HIV patients receiving ART were more accurate for predicting renal dysfunction than proteinuria and urinary β2MG. In addition, urinary L-FABP helped to discriminate those patients with a higher risk for renal dysfunction.

Abstract
In this report, we describe a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patient in whom changes in phenobarbital (PB) dosage resulted in associated changes in plasma concentrations of dolutegravir (DTG). His plasma concentrations of DTG were 0.934, 0.584, 1.003 and 3.25 μg/mL, respectively, with concomitant daily PB doses of 40, 70, 30 and 0 mg, respectively. This case suggests that PB can lead to a remarkable reduction in the plasma concentration of DTG in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of people living with HIV (PLWH) in Japan. METHODS A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted between June and December 2016 on PLWH. HRQOL was assessed using the Japanese version of the Short Form-36 Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), and the three-component model of SF-36 scores was used. The values from the present study were compared with the published general Japanese values. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the independent factors associated with the HRQOL of PLWH. RESULTS A total of 151 PLWH were enrolled in the present study. Six out of the eight subscales were significantly lower than the normative data. With respect to the summary scores, compared with those in the general population, the physical component summary score (PCS) was significantly higher in PLWH, although the mental and social/role component summary scores (MCS and RCS, respectively) were lower. Older Age was independently related to lower PCS; formal employment and higher CD4 counts were independently related to higher PCS. The factor associated with lower MCS was taking psychoactive drug(s). Formal employment was independently associated with higher RCS; taking psychoactive drug(s) was independently associated with lower RCS. CONCLUSIONS The physical HRQOL of PLWH was slightly higher; however, the mental and social/role HRQOL were slightly lower than in the general population in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal dysfunction is recognized with increasing frequency among the noninfectious comorbidities associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) has been shown to be a new biomarker to screen for not only tubulointerstitial damage but also kidney dysfunction. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study to determine the association between the urinary L-FABP and chronic kidney disease (CKD) among 77 HIV-infected Japanese patients by backward-stepwise multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS The prevalence of individuals in the low risk was 80 %. Urinary L-FABP level was not associated with antiretroviral therapy and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. On the other hand, urinary L-FABP level was independently associated with the CKD classification. CONCLUSION Urinary L-FABP may be used as an adjunct to diagnose the CKD stage.
