Renal Impairment Impact and Survival Analysis in a Romanian Cohort of HIV-1(F1)-Infected Children and Adolescents
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that is transmissible through blood and other body fluids. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, an estimated 10,000 Romanian children were infected with HIV-1 subtype F nosocomially through contaminated needles and untested blood transfusions. Rom...

description | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that is transmissible through blood and other body fluids. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, an estimated 10,000 Romanian children were infected with HIV-1 subtype F nosocomially through contaminated needles and untested blood transfusions. Romania was a special case in the global acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic, displaying the largest population of HIV-infected children by parental transmission between 1987–1990. In total, 205 HIV-infected patients from the western part of Romania were analyzed in this retrospective study. Over 70% of them had experienced horizontal transmission from an unknown source, while vertical transmission was identified in only five cases. Most patients had a moderate to severe clinical manifestation of HIV infection, 77.56% had undergone antiretroviral (ARV) treatment, most of them (71.21%) had experienced no adverse reactions and many of those with HIV (90.73%) had an undetectable viral load. Renal impairment was detected in one third of patients (34.63%). Patients born before 1990, male patients, patients diagnosed with HIV before the age of 10, and those undernourished or with renal impairment had a shorter average survival time than the group born after 1990, female patients, patients receiving ARV treatment, patients with a normal body mass index (BMI) and those without renal impairment. Periodical monitoring of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level, as well as the detection of protein excretion, should be taken into consideration worldwide when monitoring HIV-positive patients; this in order to detect even asymptomatic chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to manage these patients and prolong their lives. |
