Risk of Kidney & Heart Disease More In HIV Patients
Know about a few of the major risk factor for HIV patients here in this article.
Despite being aware of the fact that HIV does not spread through the touch, but still the moment you hear of someone with HIV, a sense of social ostracism prevails even today.
This isn't all, according to a study, HIV patients are even at a greater risk for contracting heart attack or chronic kidney disease.
For the study, the researchers had taken into consideration over 1400 people who were undergoing HIV treatment. Over half the participants were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, and more than 900 had experienced a cardiovascular disease. Almost 11% of these patients had experienced both chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
The study was led by Professor Boyd, an infectious diseases expert with the Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide.
During the course of the study, researchers found an elevated risks of each disease occurring simultaneously.
"Our research found that people with HIV at high risk of cardiovascular disease had a corresponding 5.63-fold increase in risk of chronic kidney disease," Professor Boyd says.
Professor Boyd says the research shows that the risks for cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease in people with HIV should be assessed together.
The research was recently published in the journal PLOS Medicine.
Meanwhile, know about a few of the early warning signs of HIV here. Take a look.
Fever:
Fever
for
a
few
days
can
be
viral,
but
when
fever
lasts
for
a
longer
period
of
time
or
occurs
frequently
then
it
should
be
taken
care
of.
Fatigue:
Feeling
fatigue
after
working
for
long,
then
it
can
be
understood,
but
if
you
tend
to
feel
tired
and
fatigued
without
any
physical
exertion
then
it
can
be
one
of
the
early
signs
of
HIV.
Getting
checked
at
the
earliest
helps.
Dry
Cough:
You
are
not
suffering
from
cold,
but
still
you
have
persistent
cough
that
too
without
any
phelgm
then
you
need
to
get
it
checked.
If
your
cough
sounds
hollow
like
that
of
a
smoker's
cough
then
it
could
be
one
of
the
early
signs
of
HIV.
Loss
Of
Appetite:
Your
taste
buds
tend
to
die
if
you
are
suffering
from
HIV
and
you
have
a
loss
of
appetite.
This
in
turn
will
lead
one
to
lose
weight
as
well.
When
you
have
a
loss
of
appetite
for
a
long
period
of
time
then
it
is
important
that
you
get
it
checked
with
a
doctor.
Severe
Muscle
&
Joint
Pain:
Muscle
and
joint
pains
could
occur
if
there
is
excess
movement
all
of
a
sudden.
But
when
you
experience
muscle
and
joint
pain
along
with
other
symptoms
like
nausea,
headache,
loss
of
appetite,
weight
loss,
fever
and
headache
then
it
could
be
a
sign
of
HIV.
Getting
checked
at
the
earliest
is
essential.
