Chronic kidney disease in persons living with HIV: A systematic review

The purpose of our systematic review of research on chronic kidney disease (CKD) in persons living with HIV (PLWH) was to (a) compare and contrast diagnostic criteria for CKD, (b) identify risk factors of CKD in PLWH, and (c) elucidate the prevalence of CKD in PLWH. Keyword searches of PubMed and PsycInfo databases were followed by manual searches of references from 2000 through 2016; 21 studies met inclusion criteria. Sample sizes ranged from 8 to 15,140 with a mean age of 50 years, and represented diverse ethnicities/races and countries of origin.
