Risk factors and co-morbidities associated with changes in renal function among antiretroviral treatment-naïve adults in South Africa: A chart review.

Introduction: Our systematic scoping review has demonstrated a research gap in antiretroviral treatment (ART) nephrotoxicity as well as in the long-term outcomes of renal function for patients on ART in South Africa. Bearing in mind the high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in South Africa, this is of great concern.

Objectives: To determine the risk factors and co-morbidities associated with changes in renal function in HIV-infected adults in South Africa.

Renal manifestations of HIV during the antiretroviral era in South Africa: a systematic scoping review.

Background: It is estimated that 650,000 patients may develop human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related renal disease in South Africa. South Africa has recently adopted WHO policy, stipulating that all HIV-infected patients have access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) irrespective of CD4 cell count.

Methods: We searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Worldcat.
