Abstract
We conducted an observational cohort study of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in >7,000 African and Caribbean people with HIV in the UK. Using Poisson regression and East Africans as the reference group, the adjusted incidence rate ratio (95% CI) of ESKD was 3.14 (1.26, 7.84) in Southern Africans, 6.35 (2.53, 15.96) in West Africans, and 5.26 (1.91, 14.43) in Caribbeans. Higher CD4 cell count and suppressed HIV replication were associated with reduced risk of ESKD. The risk of ESKD varied among HIV positive people of African heritage, with the highest rates observed in those of West African descent.
