"We found that both HCV viremic and HCV aviremic HIV-infected persons were at increased risk of moderate and advanced CKD compared to HCV seronegative persons, suggesting that factors other than chronic HCV replication mediate increased CKD risk in HCV-infected individuals."
 
HCV viremic subjects were at adjusted 36% increased risk for stage 3 CKD, stage 5 CKD 94% and progressive CKD 30% (1.30 [1.18, 1.43], while HCV aviremic subjects were also increased risk for stage 3 CKD 19%, stage 5 CKD 68% and progressive CKD 31% . Aviremic patients were also at risk but less risk, see poster report below.
