Abstract: Background: Little information is available on the incidence of renal stones (RS) with ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) use. Methods: The incidence of RS was compared between patients who commenced ATV/r-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) and those on other protease inhibitors (other PIs). The effects of ATV/r were estimated by univariate and multivariate Cox hazards models. Other possible risk factors were evaluated by univariate analysis and those found significant were entered into multivariate analysis. Results: RS were diagnosed in 31 patients (23.7 per 1000 person-years) of the ATV/r (n=465), and 4 (2.2 per 1000 person-years) of the other PIs (n=775). ATV/r use was significantly associated with RS by uni- and multivariate analyses (adjusted HR=10.4; 95% CI, 3.69-29.6; p<0.01). ATV/r remained a significant risk for RS in all subgroups stratified by the median values of baseline variables. In the 31 patients on ATV/r who developed RS, the median time from commencement of ATV/r to diagnosis was 24.5 months (IQR, 14.7-34.6 months). Of the 18 patients who continued ATV/r despite the diagnosis of RS, 6 (33.3%) experienced recurrence. No patient who discontinued ATV/r had recurrence during the observation period (250.6 person-months). Conclusions: The incidence of RS was substantially higher in patients on ATV/r than those on other PIs. Continuation of ATV/r after diagnosis of RS was associated with high rate of recurrence. Switching ATV/r to other ART is warranted in patients who develop RS.
