Description
Esther Nasuuna and co-authors measure kidney disease in young Ugandans living with HIV, and test which blood marker spots it better. They enrolled 500 people aged 10 to 24 at seven clinics, checking urine and blood twice, three months apart. Kidney rates were computed with two markers, creatinine and cystatin C, through several formulas.
The answers swung wildly, from zero to 23 percent, depending on the recipe. Cystatin C formulas flagged more disease, and urine tests found protein in 29 percent. Older age and male sex raised the odds. The authors call for formulas validated in this group.
