A Study of Hepatic Involvement in HIV Positive Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus is probably the only pathogen with diverse sites of affection in human body. Not a single organ system in particular is immune to its effects. Effects are caused either directly by the virus itself or more commonly, by virtue of so called opportunistic infections and malignancies. It has been estimated that approximately one third of deaths in HIV positive patients are in some way related to liver diseases(1). Causes include infections, hepatic injuries and malignancies, which may range from hepatic steatosis to hypersensitivity reactions to immune reconstitution in context of antiretroviral therapy.
