Both chronic hepatitis C and nevirapine (NVP) use are risk factors for transaminase elevation under highly active antiretroviral therapy. NVP is metabolized in the liver and its clearance could be altered in the presence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, enhancing the risk of liver toxicity. We examined NVP plasma levels in 70 HIV-infected subjects receiving NVP-containing triple combinations. The median (range) NVP plasma trough concentrations were similar in 32 HCV antibody-positive and 38 HCV antibody-negative patients (5.8 [0.7-29] vs. 6.1 [0.9-9.6] microg/ml). Thus, HCV coinfection itself does not seem to influence significantly the pharmacokinetics of NVP in HIV-infected subjects.
慢性丙型肝炎和使用奈韦拉平(NVP)均为高效抗逆转录病毒治疗下转氨酶升高的危险因素。NVP在肝脏中代谢,在慢性丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染的情况下其清除率可能改变,从而增加肝毒性风险。我们检测了70例接受含NVP三联疗法的HIV感染受试者的NVP血浆水平。32例HCV抗体阳性和38例HCV抗体阴性患者的NVP血浆谷浓度中位数(范围)相似(5.8 [0.7 - 29] 对 6.1 [0.9 - 9.6] μg/ml)。因此,合并HCV感染本身似乎对HIV感染受试者中NVP的药代动力学没有显著影响。
