TO DETERMINE THE PREVALENCE OF RENAL DISEASES IN HIV/AIDS PATIENTS AT AIMS, DEWAS

Abstract

Method: HIV positive patients registered in ART centre of AIMS, Dewas. The study will be carried out on HIV positive patients attending ART centre, General medicine OPD, and those admitted in Medicine wards of AIMS, Dewas.

Result: Among 136 patients included in our study, 81 (59.3 %) were males and 55(40.3%) were females. Among those patients with renal dysfunction, 83.1% patients were diagnosed within past 3 years. 15.3% patients had duration of illness 3 to 6 years and only 1.6% patients had duration of illness more than 6 years. The influence of duration of illness on the risk of renal dysfunction was analyzed using One way ANOVA and Tukey pair wise analysis and found to be non significant.

Conclusion: Prevalence of renal dysfunction in our study was 14.3%. Among them, 18 patients were having acute kidney injury and recovered normal renal functions. This study shows that the risk of renal dysfunction is higher in inpatients compared to outpatients. This study shows that the risk of renal dysfunction is higher in advanced stages of the disease.
