Renal Effects of Hormones/Biomarkers in Transgender PrEP Recipients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Will use a subset of the main study cohort of transgender or non-binary individuals to evaluate the relationships between self-reported exogenous hormone use, endogenous hormone values, renal biomarkers, drug levels and directly measured renal function.

Detailed Description
This cross-sectional sub-study will use a subset of the main study cohort of transgender (TG) or non-binary (NB) individuals to evaluate the relationships between self-reported exogenous hormone use, endogenous hormone values (serum estradiol, estrone, free/total testosterone), renal biomarkers, drug levels (measured by tenofovir diphosphate, TFV-DP, and emtricitabine triphosphate, FTC-TP, on dried blood spot cards and urine) and directly measured renal function (iohexol clearance).

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Iohexol injection The research pharmacist will prepare the iohexol injection in a 1cc tuberculin syringe, consisting of 0.5cc sterile water for injection (SWFI) and 0.5cc iohexol (Omnipaque 300). The study coordinator/personnel (licensed RN) will inject the iohexol dose into the subcutaneous tissue on the opposite arm used for blood sampling; the time will be recorded. The participant will be monitored for adverse events 30 minutes post iohexol administration at the AVRC. If the participant has not had any adverse event within 30 minutes, they will be asked to leave the AVRC and return within 2 hours and 55 minutes post Iohexol injection for lab collection. |
Diagnostic Test: IHX-CL measurements
The distribution of measured IHX-CL values and other continuous variables will be assessed to ensure a parametric distribution.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Iohexol clearance [Day 1]
Rate of clearance (mL/min) of iohexol from the body after a small dose is administered subcutaneously. Iohexol clearance is the gold standard for measuring kidney function.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Blood concentration of tenofovir [Day 1]
Tenofovir concentrations in blood and blotted on dried blood spot cards.

Exclusion Criteria:
-
Allergy to iohexol
-
Use of concurrent medications that may interfere with iohexol such as metformin, amiodarone or beta-blockers
