Bone, Inflammation, Gut and Renal Biomarkers in Antiretroviral Naïve HIV-1 Positive Subjects

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
HIV Positive
Interventions
Other: blood and urinary samples
Registration Number
NCT03660722
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

Co-morbidities, including low bone mineral density, increased visceral adiposity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are frequent in people living with HIV, and may be driven by ongoing inflammation and immune activation. Initiation of ART reduces inflammation and immune activation and is associated with changes in bone and renal biomarkers and gut microbiota. Investigators hypothesise that changes in gut microbiome when starting antiretroviral therapy correlate to changes in bone and renal biomarkers and wish to explore possible mechanisms linking these by investigating changes in markers of inflammation and immune activation.
