Table 3.
Example of risk calculation for a 55-year-old patient with normal glucose, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, no proteinuria and normal CD4+ cell count.
| Risk factor | Pointsa |
|---|---|
| Age 55 years | 4 |
| Glucose >140 mg/dl | 0 |
| SBP >140 mmHg | 1 |
| Hypertension | 2 |
| TG >200 mg/dl | 1 |
| No proteinuria | 0 |
| CD4+ cell count >200 cells/μl | 0 |
| Total score | 8 |
| Estimated 5-year risk of CKDa | |
| If patient is put on tenofovir | 19% chance of developing CKD |
| If patient is not put on tenofovir | 11% chance of developing CKD |
CKD, chronic kidney disease; TG, triglycerides.
