Management of the metabolic effects of HIV and HIV drugs

Abstract: Morphologic and metabolic abnormalities, including subcutaneous adipose tissue wasting, central adipose tissue accumulation, dyslipidemia and disorders of glucose metabolism are common among HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease in this population. The pathogenesis of these disorders is due to complicated interactions between effects of chronic HIV infection, HAART medications, and patient factors, including genetic sus… Show more

“…Many patients had developed resistances and were receiving antiretroviral rescue therapy, including d4T. Our fi ndings support the notion that d4T should be avoided whenever possible in HIV-infected patients, and confi rm that it is a signifi cant risk factor for metabolic disorders and abnormal fat distribution (22,25) .…”

“…Many biologic factors are known or assumed to contribute to the development of frailty, including chronic inflammation (as measured by IL-6 and other biomarkers), hypercoagulability, mitochondria dysfunction, DNA mutagenesis, alterations in telomerase activity/telomere length phenotype and endocrinopathies(62). HIV infection and its treatment impacts in a potential detrimental manner all of these pathways(20, 35, 63-65). A highly contentious issue ripe for future mechanistic studies is whether there are distinct aspects of HIV disease that alters the biology of aging in some fundamental manner (64, 66).…”

“…For example, avoidance of some ART regimens, containing stavudine and zidovudine, might help in preventing the development of lipoatrophy, but no strategies have proven effective against lipohypertrophy[255]. For patients with established lipoatrophy, switching from ART regimens, containing either stavudine or zidovudine, to an alternative ART regimen could be an empirical choice.…”
