Abstract
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and its treatment cause renal diseases. Renal disease is associated with an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV positive individuals than in the general population. It has been also associated with adverse outcomes, such as complications of decreased renal functions and progression to renal failure. The aim of this studyistodetermine the prevalence and factors associated with renal function impairment among adult HIV patients taking highly active antiretroviral therapy inZewditu memorial hospital and saint poul’s Hospital millennium medical college in 2018 GC. Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 698 HIV positive study participants in selected government hospitals located in Addis Ababa from 1st February 2018 to 1st April 2018. HIV positive patients on ARTduring the study period where included in the study by using systematic random sampling method. The outcome variable was measured by applying ckd-epi estimation equation and renal impairment was defined as eGFR<60ml\min\1.73m2.Socio-demographic characters, clinical and laboratory records were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data wasentered using epi data after cleaned and coded. Data was analyzedbyusing SPSS statistical package. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression where done and variables with p-value<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Result: the overall prevalence of renal impairment in this study was 3% (95%CI 1.7%-4.3%) with response rate of 98.9%. After adjustment; being cannot read and write (AOR = 4.18; 95% CI1.65,10.58) ,Bing hypertensive(AOR=1.86;95%CI1.045,3.305),being underweight(AOR =3.14 ;95% CI 1.07,9.2),being HBsAg positive (AOR= 0.376; 95%CI 0.168,0.84 ) and having proteinuria (AOR=3.55;95%CI 2.17,5.81) were found statistically significant predictors of renal impairment.
Conclusion: the prevalence of renal impairment among HIV patients on HAART in this study was relatively low clinically significant. Therefore early detection of kidney disease by working on modifiable risk factors and implementation of sensitive screening techniques of renal function in persons with HIV on HAART will have an impact on the burden of disease, prevention of renal disease among this population
