Table 2 Laboratory values of People Living With HIV at time of biopsy. (N) denotes the number of people with available data. The Laboratory reference range is as published by Sydney Local Health District and utilised at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.—Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), haemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio (PCR), Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR)

From: Patterns of biopsy-proven renal disease in people living with HIV: 10 years experience in Sydney, Australia
