Correlation of sCD14 and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) RNA Levels with Inflammatory Markers

		IL-6	Serum amyloid A	hsCRP	D-dimer
HIV RNA level ≤400 copies/mL	sCD14	r=.18 P<.001	r=.16 P<.001	r=.10 P=.04	r=.11 P=.03
HIV RNA level >400 copies/mL	sCD14	r=.26 P<.001	r=.18 P=.004	r=.18 P=.005	r=.09 P=.16
	HIV RNA	r=.23 P<.001	r=.00 P=.93	r=.04 P=.55	r=.42 P<.001

NOTE. For subjects with HIV RNA ≤ 400 copies/mL, sCD14 levels correlate with levels of the inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, serum amyloid A, C-reactive protein, and D-dimer, a marker of activation of the coagulation pathways, whereas for subjects with HIV RNA >400 copies/mL, sCD14 levels correlate with IL-6, serum amyloid A and CRP. HIV RNA level only correlates with IL-6 and D-dimer. HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; IL, interleukin; sCD14, soluble CD14.
