To assess the association between non-severe liver enzyme elevations (LEEs) during antiretroviral treatment and liver fibrosis in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients.
All co-infected patients from an Infectious Disease Unit who had received treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for at least 12 months before undergoing a liver biopsy were included in the study.
One-hundred and sixteen patients met the inclusion criteria of the study. Advanced liver fibrosis was observed in 32 (38%) of 84 patients who developed non-severe LEEs and in 11 (34%) of 32 subjects who developed severe (grade > or = 3) LEEs, (P = 0.7). Seven (6%) of 116 patients showed grade 3 or 4 LEEs for at least 30% of the follow-up. Advanced liver fibrosis was observed in five (71%) of these patients and in 38 (35%) of the 109 subjects who did not develop long-term severe LEEs (P = 0.05). Eight (10%) of 84 patients showed grade 2 LEEs for at least 30% of the follow-up. Advanced liver fibrosis was observed in 28 (37%) of 76 subjects who did not develop long-term grade 2 LEEs and in three (38%) of eight patients who developed them (P = 0.9).
In HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, non-severe LEEs, whether persistent or not, are not associated with advanced liver fibrosis. On the other hand, long-term severe LEEs are associated with more severe liver fibrosis in this population.
评估抗逆转录病毒治疗期间非严重肝酶升高(LEEs)与HIV/HCV合并感染患者肝纤维化之间的关联。
本研究纳入了传染病科所有在接受肝活检前至少接受过12个月高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)的合并感染患者。
116例患者符合研究纳入标准。在84例出现非严重LEEs的患者中,32例(38%)观察到晚期肝纤维化;在32例出现严重(≥3级)LEEs的患者中,11例(34%)观察到晚期肝纤维化,(P = 0.7)。116例患者中有7例(6%)在至少30%的随访期内出现3级或4级LEEs。这些患者中有5例(71%)观察到晚期肝纤维化,而在109例未出现长期严重LEEs的患者中有38例(35%)观察到晚期肝纤维化(P = 0.05)。84例患者中有8例(10%)在至少30%的随访期内出现2级LEEs。在76例未出现长期2级LEEs的患者中,28例(37%)观察到晚期肝纤维化;在8例出现长期2级LEEs的患者中,3例(38%)观察到晚期肝纤维化(P = 0.9)。
在HIV/HCV合并感染患者中,非严重LEEs无论是否持续存在,均与晚期肝纤维化无关。另一方面,长期严重LEEs与该人群中更严重的肝纤维化相关。
