Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on renal damage in HIV patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), specifically examining the impact of tenofovir on kidney function compared to nontenofovir regimens.
- - A total of 244 patients were tracked over two years, and while both treatment groups showed a significant decline in kidney function measures (creatinine clearance and eGFR), the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant.
- - The findings indicate that HAART can lead to a notable decline in renal function for HIV patients, aligning with other studies, despite the expectation that HAART would help maintain kidney health.
Context: The AIDS dementia complex is one of the most common and clinically important complications of HIV infection. Subclinical dementia not presenting with features of frank disease may be missed. The use of screening tools provides a good alternative to a psychiatrist's diagnosis in resource-limited settings like the site of this study.
