Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with improved kidney function; however, the nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with decreased kidney function and proteinuria.
We examined changes in urine protein:creatinine (UPCR) and urine albumin:creatinine (UACR) ratios in 245 ART-naive participants in A5202 randomized in a substudy to blinded NRTI (abacavir/lamivudine, ABC/3TC, n = 124 or TDF/emtricitabine, TDF/FTC, n = 121) with open-label protease inhibitor (PI) atazanavir/ritonavir or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz.
At baseline, 18% of participants had clinically significant proteinuria (UPCR ≥200 mg/g), and 11% had clinically significant albuminuria (UACR ≥30 mg/g). The prevalence of clinically significant proteinuria and albuminuria decreased from baseline to week 96 in all treatment groups. In intention-to-treat analyses, there was a significant effect of NRTI component on fold change in UPCR (P = 0.011) and UACR (P = 0.018) from baseline to week 96, with greater improvements in participants randomized to ABC/3TC. There was no significant effect of NNRTI/PI component on fold change in UPCR (P = 0.23) or UACR (P = 0.88), and no significant interactions between NRTI and NNRTI/PI components.
In this prespecified secondary analysis, ART initiation was associated with improvements in proteinuria and albuminuria, with significantly greater improvements in participants randomized to ABC/3TC versus TDF/FTC. These are the first data from a randomized trial to suggest that initiation of TDF/FTC may not be associated with the same degree of improvement in proteinuria and albuminuria that have been reported with other regimens. Future studies should consider the long-term clinical significance of these findings.
抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)可改善肾功能;然而,核苷酸逆转录酶抑制剂(NRTI)替诺福韦二吡呋酯(TDF)与肾功能下降和蛋白尿有关。
我们在 A5202 研究中检查了 245 名接受 ART 治疗的初治参与者的尿液蛋白:肌酐(UPCR)和尿液白蛋白:肌酐(UACR)比值的变化情况,这些参与者被随机分为亚组接受盲法 NRTI(阿巴卡韦/拉米夫定,ABC/3TC,n = 124 或 TDF/恩曲他滨,TDF/FTC,n = 121)联合开放标签蛋白酶抑制剂(PI)阿扎那韦/利托那韦或非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NNRTI)依非韦伦。
基线时,18%的参与者有临床显著蛋白尿(UPCR≥200mg/g),11%有临床显著白蛋白尿(UACR≥30mg/g)。所有治疗组的临床显著蛋白尿和白蛋白尿的患病率从基线到 96 周时均下降。在意向治疗分析中,NRTI 成分对 UPCR(P=0.011)和 UACR(P=0.018)从基线到 96 周的变化的影响有统计学意义,与随机分配到 ABC/3TC 的参与者相比,有显著改善。NNRTI/PI 成分对 UPCR(P=0.23)或 UACR(P=0.88)的变化没有显著影响,NRTI 和 NNRTI/PI 成分之间也没有显著的相互作用。
在这个预先指定的二次分析中,ART 启动与蛋白尿和白蛋白尿的改善相关,与随机分配到 ABC/3TC 组的参与者相比,TDF/FTC 组的改善更为显著。这些是来自随机试验的第一批数据,表明与其他方案报道的改善程度相比,TDF/FTC 的启动可能不会导致同样程度的蛋白尿和白蛋白尿改善。未来的研究应考虑这些发现的长期临床意义。
