dc.description.abstractIn South Africa, PLHIV are eligible for free ART and kidney function screening. Serum creatinine (SCr) laboratory test data from the National Health Laboratory Service are collated at the Provincial Health Data Centre and linked with other routine health data. We analysed SCr and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) results for PLHIV and HIV-negative healthcare clients aged 18–80 years accessing healthcare in Khayelitsha, South Africa and comorbidity profiles at SCr and eGFR testing. 45 640 individuals aged 18–80 years with at least one renal test accessed Khayelitsha public health facilities in 2016/2017. 22 961 (50.3%) were PLHIV. Median age at first SCr and eGFR test for PLHIV was 33yrs (IQR: 27,41) to 36yrs (IQR: 30,43) compared to 49yrs (IQR: 37,57) and 52yrs (IQR: 44,59) for those without HIV. PLHIV first median SCr results were 66 (IQR: 55,78) μmol/l compared to 69 (IQR: 58,82) μmol/l for HIV-negative individuals. Hypertension, diabetes, and CKD at testing were more common in HIV-negative people than PLHIV
