Abstract:
One of the non-communicable diseases that results in substantial morbidity and death globally is chronic kidney disease. It is also a risk factor for renal failure and cardiovascular disease. In sub-Saharan Africa, chronic kidney disease related to human immunodeficiency virus infection has gained great attention due to the high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus, delayed diagnosis, and the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy. In addition, there is limited data regarding chronic kidney disease and its associated factors among human immunodeficiency virus patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia as well as in Harar.
