A panel of urinary biochemical markers for the noninvasive detection of kidney dysfunction in HIV-infected patients.
The use of antiretroviral therapy in HIV‑infected patients can lead to disturbances in kidney function. Renal dysfunction can also be caused by the direct effects of HIV on the kidneys. The assessment of renal function is needed to monitor these patients for the development of chronic kidney disease. ⋯ Our results indicate that among selected enzymes and low-molecular proteins, β2M, NAG, KIM-1, and RBP are the best in assessing renal dysfunction in patients with HIV.
