Hypertriglyceridemia in Antiretroviral Therapy

چکیده
Introduction Elevated serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, very lowdensity lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol have been reported in the literature from areas where experience with antiretroviral drugs has amassed. Up until recently the use of antiretroviral drugs in Nigeria on a wide scale was a rarity owing largely to prohibitive cost, and so experience with its use was limited. Here we report 3 cases out of 11 followed up on antiretroviral drugs for a period of 6 months (June to November 2002) who had a steady rise in serum triglyceride level, as part of the initial 25 trial patients on free antiretroviral drugs supplied by the Nigerian federal government as a pilot study an accelerated clinical trial of a combination of stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine in the treatment of people living with HIV-AIDS in Nigeria at the University of Benin teaching hospital, one of the designated centers for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.

Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)-Related Hypertriglyceridemia Is Associated With Failure of Recovery of CD14lowCD16+ Monocyte Subsets in AIDS Patients
As cellular reservoirs, CD16 monocyte subsets play important roles in the progression of HIV infection. Previous studies have shown that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) reduced the percentages of CD14CD16 monocyte subsets, but did not recover the percentages of CD14CD16 subsets. Eighty-four chronic HIV-infected, HAART-naïve individuals and 55 HIV-negative subjects (31 without hyper...

INTRODUCTION: Hypertriglyceridemia incidence should be estimated in HIV-infected patients after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of HIV-infected adults at 3 public referral centers. Cumulative and person-time incidences were estimated for patients without hypertriglyceridemia. Survival time and hazard ratio (HR) were estimated by Ka...

In order to describe the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in a cohort of HIV-infected children and adolescents in Latin America and to determine associations with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), we performed this cross-sectional analysis within the NICHD International Site Development Initiative pediatric cohort study. Eligible children had to be at leas...

The use of combination antiretroviral therapy (CART) in HIV-infected patients has resulted in a dramatic decline in AIDS-related mortality. However, mortality due to non-AIDS conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD) seems to increase in this population. CART has been associated with several metabolic risk factors, including insulin resistance, low HDL-cholesterol, hypertriglyceride...

Background and Objective: Dyslipidemia has become a common problem in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, especially in patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic abnormalities in 2 groups of HIV infected patients receiving highly activ...

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-infected patients has been associated with the development of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CD) including dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia being the most frequent metabolic disturbance in these patients. Fibrates are indicated when hypertriglyceridemia is accentuated and persists for over six mon...
