Hidden kidney damage in HIV patients revealed by water test
NCT ID NCT01869010
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well the kidneys handle water in people with HIV, comparing those on the drug tenofovir to those not taking it and to healthy volunteers. Thirty adults drank water and received fluids through an IV, with blood and urine samples taken to measure kidney function. The goal was to find early signs of kidney trouble that standard tests might miss.
