End-stage renal disease among HIV-infected adults in North America.
Given the many potential contributors to ESRD risk, the goal of this study was to assess the relative contributions of clinical and demographic factors to ESRD. It found that HIV-infected ESRD cases were more likely to be of black race, have diabetes mellitus or hypertension, inject drugs, and/or have a prior AIDS-defining illness.

Comparison of risk and age at diagnosis of myocardial infarction, end-stage renal disease, and non-AIDS-defining cancer in HIV-infected versus uninfected adults.
The objective of this study was to compare the median age at, and risk of, incident diagnosis of 3 age-associated diseases in HIV-infected and demographically similar uninfected adults. It found that HIV-infected adults had a higher risk of these age-associated diseases (myocardial infarction, end-stage renal disease, and non-AIDS-defining cancer), but they occurred at similar ages to those without HIV.
