Liver disease in people living with HIV infection: a changing landscape

Abstract:
As persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are living longer, non-AIDS-related mortality continues to rise, with liver disease being one of the most common causes. This Review provides a synopsis of the current burden of liver diseases, ranging from viral hepatitis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease to liver cancer, and discusses the barriers and challenges to screening and treatment as well as cofactors contributing to increasing disease burden. A brief insight is provided on the potential molecular mechanisms driving hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in persons living with HIV. Given the effect of direct-acting antivirals on hepatitis C virus infection and suppressive treatment for hepatitis B virus infection, special attention is drawn to the emergence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis in this population, focusing on factors related to the increasing prevalence of relevant comorbidities, the role of antiretroviral therapy, and HIV-specific factors in driving liver fibrosis progression.

Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
