Urine osmolality in treatment-na & #239;ve HIV-positive subjects in Southeast Nigeria

Conclusion: The prevalence of dilute urine was high among the treatment-naïve HIV subjects. Abnormalities of serum lipids, renal function, and weight were common in treatment-naïve HIV subjects who had dilute urine. There is a need for clinicians to routinely assess urine osmolality and further diagnose for dyslipidemia, renal function impairment, and abnormal weight in HIV subjects at the early stage of the infection.
