Association of Well-Controlled HIV Infection with Complement Activation and Function and IgG Levels
| HIV + (mean ± SD) | HIV − (mean ± SD) | Unadjusted p value | Adjusted p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C5a (ng/mL) | 73 ± 31 | 87 ± 33 | 0.02 | 0.09 |
| C3a (ng/mL) | 8059 ± 7632 | 4901 ± 2240 | <0.0001 | 0.06 |
| CH50 (U/mL) | 46 ± 8 | 42 ± 6 | 0.0006 | 0.2 |
| IgG1 (µg/mL) | 8811 ± 5942 | 6760 ± 3268 | 0.004 | 0.5 |
| IgG2 (µg/mL) | 1960 ± 1278 | 2361 ± 1330 | 0.10 | |
| IgG3 (µg/mL) | 1955 ± 984 | 1433 ± 660 | 0.0003 | 0.04 |
| IgG4 (µg/mL) | 357 ± 356 | 481 ± 296 | 0.07 | 0.2 |
| Total IgG (µg/mL) | 13082 ± 6891 | 11035 ± 3906 | 0.02 | 0.6 |
Covariates were included in the multivariate model if they were significant on univariate analysis. Multivariate models included age and HCV infection for C5a; HCV infection for C3a; age, race, HCV infection, and statin use for CH50; race for IgG1, nothing for IgG2 (no covariates were significant on univariate analysis); age and HCV infection for IgG3; smoking status for IgG4; and race for IgG total.
