Objectives and Method: There are growing concerns of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)–associated renal toxicity. We evaluated the effect long-term TDF exposure on function in a cohort HIV-1-infected Nigerians between 2006 2015. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors impairment at different time over 144 weeks antiretroviral therapy (ART). Results: Data 4897 patients, median age 42 years (interquartile range: 36-49), 61% females were analyzed. The prevalence...
Backround: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a manifestation of chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD). SHPT common in patients with (CKD) and associated significant morbidity mortality.Methods: A cross- sectional descriptive study involving 230 CKD. Results: The mean age the population was 44.17±15.24 years. median intact parathyroid hormone alkaline phosphatase levels were 96pg/ml (range 4-953pg/ml) 88 iu/l 10-800 iu/l) respectively. (with standard deviation) calcium,...
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) is the main form of renal replacement therapy available in Nigeria. However, this still largely unaffordable by individuals with resultant poor outcomes. Methods: This was a retrospective study all patients failure who had dialysis unit Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital over past 2 years. Information retrieved included sex, age, cause failure, human immunodeficiency virus status, hepatitis B surface antigen antibodies to C number sessions, total duration on (in...
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the important complications human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The prevalence CKD in HIV-infected Nigerians at presentation currently unknown. Materials and Methods: This was a comparative study 400 antiretroviral drug naïve patients attending HIV clinic teaching hospital North Central Nigeria 140 apparently healthy individuals. defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min and/or proteinuria ≥1+ according to...
Hypertension is one of the commonest cause chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Nigerians. We describe blood pressure (BP) control and markers patients with hypertension as part measures to curb burden this debilitating disease.Patients main tertiary hospitals three states north central Nigeria were evaluated for indicators CKD, including proteinuria estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Patients had their early morning first void urine tested using Combi-10 test strips....
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to hundreds of thousands deaths worldwide.Being a novel viral disease, we sought evaluate the knowledge and practice doctors nurses in tertiary hospital regarding disease.Using self-administered questionnaire, respondents were asked questions on cause, clinical features, prevention COVID-19.: We studied 409 (238 171 nurses) with mean age 34 ± 7 years median length experience five (IQR 2-9) years. score was 9.6 1.2 out maximum 12 points 337 (82.4%) having good...
Obesity is linked to non-communicable conditions. We looked at obesity using four definable criteria and their relationship biochemical inflammatory indicators of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in people living with HIV (PLHIV).
The aetiologic agent of COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Like other coronaviruses, it generally induces enteric and respiratory diseases in animals humans. may be subclinical, symptomatic, ranging from mild-to-severe disease. spectrum presentation the result several factors inoculum size, inherent host susceptibility, possible cross-reacting circulating antibodies. Subclinical viral infections are associated with widespread community transmission some cases like Polio, herd...
