Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Bone Fractures in Patients with HIV
Journal Title: International Journal of Virology and AIDS - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus infection has posed a challenge for mankind and now this disease is more of a challenge for quality of life than for virus related mortality. This review aims to study two prevalent diseases that may affect this population by decreasing their quality of life. Bone fractures are much more common in the HIV-positive population and have many etiopathogenesis implicated. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is also common in HIV-positive patients and may even lead to cirrhosis and related complications. So it is important to search prevention and therapeutical options for these diseases and clarify the association of liver and bone as a multisystem disease and their inter-relations.
