Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals 15.6% prevalence of kidney dysfunction among HIV-positive individuals, highlighting comorbidities as key predictors.

Key Points

  • Kidney dysfunction was present in 15.6% of participants, indicating a significant health issue among people living with HIV.
  • In multivariable analysis, comorbid conditions emerged as the primary predictor of kidney dysfunction, with odds increased by nearly four-fold.
  • The study involved 358 participants aged 18 and older, attending an HIV clinic in Dar es Salaam, providing valuable context-specific data.
  • Integrating non-communicable disease management into HIV care is crucial to enhance early detection and improve kidney health outcomes.
