NCT01869010

Brief Summary

The objective of the present study is to analyze the overall tubular function, and in particular that from the proximal tubule and the thick ascending loop of Henle (TALH) in patients with HIV infection receiving or not tenofovir-containing antiretroviral treatment in comparison with seronegative controls, by applying a validated tubular physiological test known as "Low sodium infusion test". Hypothesis is that patients with HIV infection and normal renal function will show subclinical tubular abnormalities compared with seronegative controls

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Free Water Clearance

    Low sodium water overload

    1 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Urine osmolarity

    one month

Study Arms (3)

HIV Tenofovir

Other: Low sodium water overload in HIV tenofovir, HIV no tenofovir and seronegative controls

HIV No tenofovir

Other: Low sodium water overload in HIV tenofovir, HIV no tenofovir and seronegative controls

Seronegative controls

Other: Low sodium water overload in HIV tenofovir, HIV no tenofovir and seronegative controls

Interventions

This test is based on the exploration of the tubular response to an acute fluid load. After overnight fast, all participants received twenty cc/Kg of mineralized water per os and two liters of intravenous hypotonic solution (0.66%) infused in two hours. Three blood samples are drawn (at 0, 60 and 120 minutes) and also urine samples are collected from each person at baseline and at 30 (±5) minutes intervals during the whole test. From the obtained blood and urine samples creatinine and osmolarity are measured, and then from the data corresponding to the most hypotonic urine sample (maximum dilution) and its corresponding blood sample three renal physiological parameters (proximal sodium clearance, free water clearance, sodium TALH reabsorption) are analyzed. Since patient inclusion follow up period is one month
