BACKGROUND/AIMS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is frequent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and may be aggravated by metabolic comorbidities and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-associated adverse effects.
We retrospectively assessed epidemiological, clinical and laboratory parameters and ART regimens at HIV diagnosis (BL) and at last follow-up (FU) in 1458 PLWH without viral hepatitis coinfection attending our HIV clinic in 2014-2016. Fibrosis was non-invasively assessed by the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS).
The median age of subjects was 37.8 years, 77.4% were male and 67.2% on ART, median CD4+ count was 356.0 cells/µL. At BL, 503 (34.5%) and 20 (1.4%) PLWH had dyslipidemia and diabetes, respectively. According to the NFS 16 (1.3%) showed advanced fibrosis (NFS ≥ 0.676), among which 1 (6.3%) had diabetes, 7 (43.8%) had dyslipidemia, and 5 (31.3%) were on HIV-protease inhibitors (PI). In addition, 191(15.1%) had intermediate NFS results, while fibrosis was ruled out (NFS ≤ 1.455) in 1065 (83.7%) PLWH. After a median follow-up of 6.3 years, 590 (42.8%) had dyslipidemia and 61 (4.4%) had diabetes. Also, 21 (1.6%) showed advanced fibrosis, of which 10 (47.6%) had diabetes, 4 (19.0%) had dyslipidemia, and 9 (42.9%) were on PI-based ART, 223 (17.4%) had intermediate NFS results, while 1039 (81.0%) showed no fibrosis.
During FU, advanced NAFLD fibrosis occurred in 1.3-1.6% of PLWH. Dyslipidemia, diabetes, and PI-based ART were associated with advanced NAFLD fibrosis. Prospective investigations of NAFLD severity and risk factors in PLWH are warranted.
背景/目的:非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)在感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的人群中很常见,并且可能会因代谢合并症和抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)相关的不良反应而加重。
我们回顾性评估了 2014-2016 年间在我们的 HIV 诊所就诊、无病毒性肝炎合并感染的 1458 例 HIV 感染者在 HIV 诊断(BL)和末次随访(FU)时的流行病学、临床和实验室参数以及 ART 方案。NAFLD 纤维化评分(NFS)用于非侵入性评估纤维化。
受试者的中位年龄为 37.8 岁,77.4%为男性,67.2%正在接受 ART 治疗,中位 CD4+细胞计数为 356.0 个/µL。在 BL 时,503(34.5%)和 20(1.4%)例 HIV 感染者分别存在血脂异常和糖尿病。根据 NFS,16(1.3%)例显示晚期纤维化(NFS≥0.676),其中 1(6.3%)例有糖尿病,7(43.8%)例有血脂异常,5(31.3%)例正在接受 HIV 蛋白酶抑制剂(PI)治疗。此外,191(15.1%)例有中等程度的 NFS 结果,而 1065(83.7%)例 HIV 感染者的纤维化则排除在外(NFS≤1.455)。在中位随访 6.3 年后,590(42.8%)例出现血脂异常,61(4.4%)例出现糖尿病。另外,21(1.6%)例显示晚期纤维化,其中 10(47.6%)例有糖尿病,4(19.0%)例有血脂异常,9(42.9%)例正在接受基于 PI 的 ART 治疗,223(17.4%)例有中等程度的 NFS 结果,而 1039(81.0%)例无纤维化。
在 FU 期间,1.3%-1.6%的 HIV 感染者出现进展性 NAFLD 纤维化。血脂异常、糖尿病和基于 PI 的 ART 与进展性 NAFLD 纤维化相关。有必要对 HIV 感染者的 NAFLD 严重程度和危险因素进行前瞻性研究。
