Abstract
- Objectives The accuracy and precision of glomerular filtration rate ( GFR) estimating equations based on plasma creatinine ( GFR<subscript>cr</subscript>), cystatin C ( GFR<subscript>cys</subscript>) and the combination of these markers ( GFR<subscript>cr-cys</subscript>) have recently been assessed in HIV-infected individuals. We assessed the associations of GFR, estimated by these three equations, with clinical events in HIV-infected individuals. Methods We compared the associations of baseline GFR<subscript>cr</subscript>, GFR<subscript>cys</subscript> and GFR<subscript>cr-cys</subscript> [using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration ( CKD-EPI) equations] with mortality, cardiovascular events ( CVEs) and opportunistic diseases ( ODs) in the Strategies for the Management of Antiretroviral Therapy ( SMART) study. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios per standard deviation ( SD) change in GFR. Results A total of 4614 subjects from the SMART trial with available baseline creatinine and cystatin C data were included in this analysis. Of these, 99 died, 111 had a CVE and 121 had an OD. GFR<subscript>cys</subscript> was weakly to moderately correlated with HIV RNA, CD4 cell count, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and D-dimer, while GFR<subscript>cr</subscript> had little or no correlation with these factors. GFR<subscript>cys</subscript> had the strongest associations with the three clinical outcomes, followed closely by GFR<subscript>cr-cys</subscript>, with GFR<subscript>cr</subscript> having the weakest associations with clinical outcomes. In a model adjusting for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, HIV-related factors and inflammation markers, a 1- SD lower GFR<subscript>cys</subscript> was associated with a 55% [95% confidence interval ( CI) 27−90%] increased risk of mortality, a 21% (95% CI 0−47%) increased risk of CVE, and a 22% (95% CI 0−48%) increased risk of OD. Conclusions Of the three CKD-EPI GFR equations, GFR<subscript>cys</subscript> had the strongest associations with mortality, CVE and OD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
