Description

Mocroft et al developed risk scores for predicting chronic kidney disease in HIV patients enrolled in the D:A:D Study. The complete model can be used when cardiovascular risk factors are known. The authors are from multiple institutions in Europe, the United States and Australia.


 

Patient selection: HIV positie, estimated GFR > 60 mL per min per 1.73 square meters

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) gender

(3) intravenous drug user (and HIV exposure)

(4) hepatitis C coinfection

(5) baseline estimated GFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter

(6) nadir absolute CD4 count per µL

(7) hypertension

(8) history of cardiovascular disease

(9) diabetes mellitus
