From: A high likelihood of increase in end-stage renal disease among the Japanese HIV-infected population
The likelihood of increase in cumulative number of CKD and ESRD among the HIV population. Cumulative number of CKD and ESRD is likely increase with aging, as a rapid decrease in eGFR and high prevalence of albuminuria/proteinuria are clinical characteristics in HIV-infected patients. In addition, the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia is higher in HIV-infected patients than in non-HIV individuals, and life expectancy after dialysis initiation is good.
