Comprehensive & Cost Effective Laboratory Monitoring of HIV/AIDS: an African Role Model
Published on: November 1, 2010
Abstract:
The nutritional problems that go along with HIV infection and AIDS are significant and in fact contribute to death. Nutrition not only affects overall health but one's ability to respond to therapies and quality of life. Malnutrition and "wasting syndrome" result from compromised nutritional status. Early detection and intervention can decrease the dramatic problems caused by these conditions. Regardless of the stage of illness, Medical Nutrition Therapy needs to be individualized and prioritized as an integral part of one's total care.
