Abstract

Background: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a well-known phosphaturic hormone produced mainly by bone cells to maintain phosphate and mineral homeostasis. Serum FGF23 levels are elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and elevated FGF23 might increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several reports have documented an increased incidence of risk factors for osteopenia, CKD, and CVD in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, few reports related to FGF23 in PLWH have been published.

Methods: Male HIV patients who presented to the outpatient clinic of Teikyo University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, in 2015 and were treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) for > 6 months were enrolled in the study. In addition to serum FGF23 measurements, the clinical factors assessed included age, ART regimens, and laboratory data. Spearman correlation and multiple regression analysis were performed to determine factors significantly associated with FGF23.

Results: In total, 67 patients were enrolled in the present study. The median age was 43.7 years, the median CD4 count was 529 cells/μL, and the median serum FGF23 level was 36.0 pg/mL. Based on correlation and multiple regression analyses, serum FGF23 levels were significantly correlated with HIV RNA > 50 copies (correlation analysis: t = 3.4259, P = 0.0011 / multiple regression analysis: P = 0.00106) or abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC) use (t = 2.8618, P = 0.0057 / P = 0.02704).

Conclusion: Factors significantly associated with elevated serum FGF23 levels included poor virologic control and ABC/3TC use.

Keywords: Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) 23, HIV, Abacavir, Cardiovascular disease risk, Antiretroviral Treatment (ART), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
