Objectives: To describe the profile of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) in HIV-infected patients and compare them to non-infected patients. Patients and Methods: It was a prospective study from January 2018 to February 2019 that took place in the nephrology, infectious diseases and internal medicine departments of the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital Center in Lomé (Togo). Results: The prevalence of ARF in HIV-infected patients was 48.07%. HIV-infected patients had an average age of 46.9 ± 11.6 years (p = 0.36) compared to 44.0 ± 20.4 years for non-HIV infected patients. Female sex was predominant in the HIV-infected population with a sex ratio H/F of 0.6 (p 3) in 50% of cases. HIV infected patients had more anemia (52.0% versus 22.2%) with p = 0.002. Conclusion: No deaths were recorded in the HIV-infected group.展开更多
