Life expectancy of HIV patients has increased by the extensive use of antiretroviral therapies (ART), but ART predisposes patients to chronic non-communicable diseases including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is one of the commonly used drugs in ART and is found to have more risk for developing CKD. In the study areas, there was no previous study addressing the prevalence of CKD, so the purpose of this study was to pinpoint the prevalence of CKD, and its associated factors.
