Hepatic Disease in HIV-Infected Patients
Summary
- HIV infection alters the natural history of HCV disease and is associated with increased likelihood of chronicity following acute infection, accelerated rate of progression of end-stage liver disease, and increased risk of liver-related death[Weber 2006]
- HIV-1 RNA suppression and achievement of HCV sustained virologic response appeared to be protective against end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver-related death[Limketkai 2012]
