We conducted a case-control study to assess testosterone use as a primary risk factor for polycythemia in 21 HIV-infected men. Any testosterone use within 2 months of first elevated hemoglobin was associated with polycythemia (matched odds ratio 6.55; 95% confidence interval 1.83-23.4; P = 0.004) and intramuscular administration demonstrated a stronger association than topical use. No adverse cardiovascular or thrombotic events were observed. HIV-infected patients taking testosterone should undergo routine hematologic monitoring with adjustment of therapy when appropriate.
我们进行了一项病例对照研究,以评估睾酮使用是否为 21 名 HIV 感染男性中红细胞增多症的主要危险因素。首次血红蛋白升高后 2 个月内任何睾酮使用均与红细胞增多症相关(匹配比值比 6.55;95%置信区间 1.83-23.4;P=0.004),且肌肉内给药与外用给药相比具有更强的相关性。未观察到不良心血管或血栓形成事件。正在接受睾酮治疗的 HIV 感染患者应进行常规血液学监测,并在适当情况下调整治疗。
