Woolnough EL, et al. - In order to validate existing risk prediction scores and identify predictors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the setting of HIV, researchers performed a retrospective cohort study of HIV-positive individuals (n = 748) with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) more than 60 ml/min at the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Findings revealed a higher risk for CKD among older individuals and those with a lower baseline eGFR. They suggested the utility of risk prediction tools in identifying those at greatest risk, who may benefit from aggressive management of risk factors.
