Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories during treatment with different protease inhibitors (PIs) or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) plus tenofovir (TDF) or abacavir (ABC) and lamivudine or emtricitabine (xTC).Retrospective study of patients followed at a single clinical center; all patients who started TDF or ABC for the first time with a NNRTI or lopinavir/r (LPV/r) or atazanavir/r (ATV/r) or darunavir/r (DRV/r), for whom at least 1 eGFR value before the start and during the studied treatment was known, were included in this analysis. eGFR was calculated by means of the CKD-EPI formula. Univariate and multivariate mixed linear model (MLM) was applied to estimate eGFR slope with the considered antiretroviral treatment.In the 1658 patients treated with TDF/xTC (aged 43 [37-48] years, with an eGFR of 105 [96; 113] mL/min/1.73 m, 80% males, 92% Caucasians, 10% coinfected with HCV, 4% with diabetes, 11% with hypertension, 38% naive for antiretroviral therapy (ART), 37% with HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL) the median follow-up was 2.5 (1.2-4.6) years. Their adjusted eGFR slopes (95% CI) were -1.26 (-1.58; -0.95), -0.43 (-1.20; +0.33), -0.86 (-1.28; -0.44), and -0.20 (-0.42; +0.02) mL/min/1.73 m per year in patients treated with ATV/r, DRV/r, LPV/r, and NNRTI, respectively. Patients receiving ATV/r or LPV/r had a greater adjusted decline in eGFR compared with those receiving NNRTIs (difference -1.06 [-1.44; -0.69] mL/min/1.73 m per year, P <0.001; and -0.66 [-1.13; -0.20] mL/min/1.73 m per year, P = 0.005, respectively); adjusted eGFR slopes were similar in patients receiving DRV/r and in those receiving NNRTIs. Patients receiving ATV/r had a greater adjusted eGFR decline than those treated with DRV/r (difference -0.83 [-1.65; -0.02] mL/min/1.73 m per year; P = 0.04), but not than those receiving LPV/r; no significant difference was observed in adjusted eGFR slopes between patients receiving DRV/r and those receiving LPV/r. In the 286 patients treated with ABC and lamivudine, eGFR slopes were similar, independent of the PI.In patients receiving TDF/xTC, eGFR trajectories were small for all regimens and declined less in patients receiving DRV/r or NNRTIs than in those treated with ATV/r or LPV/r.
