Journal Article; Multicenter Study; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't;End-stage renal diseases (ESRD) are becoming more frequent in HIV-infected patients. In Europe there is little information about HIV-infected patients on dialysis. A cross-sectional multicenter survey in 328 Spanish dialysis units was conducted in 2006. Information from 14,876 patients in dialysis was obtained (81.6% of the Spanish dialysis population). Eighty-one were HIV infected (0.54%; 95% CI, 0.43-0.67), 60 were on hemodialysis, and 21 were on peritoneal dialysis. The mean (range) age was 45 (28-73) years. Seventy-two percent were men and 33% were former drug users. The mean (range) time of HIV infection was 11 (1-27) years and time on dialysis was 4.6 (0.4-25) years. ESRD was due to glomerulonephritis (36%) and diabetes (15%). HIV-associated nephropathy was not reported. Eighty-five percent were on HAART, 76.5% had a CD4 T cell count above 200 cells, and 73% had undetectable viral load. Thirty-nine percent of patients met criteria for inclusion on the renal transplant (RT) waiting list but only 12% were included. Sixty-one percent had HCV coinfection. HCV-coinfected patients had a longer history of HIV, more previous AIDS events, parenteral transmission as the most common risk factor for acquiring HIV infection, and less access to the RT waiting list (p < 0.05). The prevalence of HIV infection in Spanish dialysis units in 2006 was 0.54% HCV coinfection was very frequent (61%) and the percentage of patients included on the Spanish RT waiting list was low (12%).enRecuento de linfocitos CD4Estudios transversalesDiálisisInfecciones por VIHHepatitis CHumanosEpidemiologíaInsuficiencia renalEspañaCarga viralMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::AgedMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Drug Therapy::Drug Therapy, Combination::Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly ActiveMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Circulatory and Respiratory Physiological Phenomena::Blood Physiological Phenomena::Blood Cell Count::Leukocyte Count::Lymphocyte Count::CD4 Lymphocyte CountMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Study Characteristics as Topic::Epidemiologic Studies::Cross-Sectional StudiesMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Chemical Phenomena::Chemical Processes::Physicochemical Processes::DialysisMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Immune System Diseases::Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes::HIV InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Digestive System Diseases::Liver Diseases::Hepatitis::Hepatitis, Viral, Human::Hepatitis CMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Middle AgedMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::Vital Statistics::Morbidity::PrevalenceMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Urologic Diseases::Kidney Diseases::Renal InsufficiencyMedical Subject Headings::Geographicals::Geographic Locations::Europe::SpainMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Clinical Laboratory Techniques::Microbiological Techniques::Viral LoadMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Personsresearch article18834322open access10.1089/aid.2008.01581931-8405
