    CKD Prediction in HIV+ Patients

    Determines probability of HIV patients developing CKD in the next 5 years, if they take tenofivir or not.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use
    • Patients who are expected to be low-risk for the development of CKD, to confirm this
    • Patients who are expected to be high-risk for the development of CKD, to make sure alternatives to tenofovir are used
    • It is well-known that tenofovir is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
    • This risk is substantially higher in patients with traditional CKD risk factors.
    • This risk calculator helps determine risk of developing CKD, and may help practitioners choose patients who would be good or poor candidates for tenofovir depending on their overall CKD risks.
    • This score was developed in a US VA patient population, and only males were included in this study.
    • This population was also overall “healthier” than the general VA population in other cardiovascular and renal disease states, with relatively low rates of hyperglycemia or hypertension.

    Low risk patients may be good candidates for tenofovir, and high risk patients should avoid tenofovir when determining appropriate anti-retroviral therapies.
