Abstract
Purpose of review: The goal of this review is to summarize the recent literature linking HIV to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This is a pressing issue due to the scale of the MASLD epidemic and the urgent need for preventive and therapeutic strategies for MASLD in PWH.
Recent findings: The prevalence of MASLD in PWH is higher than previously appreciated, approaching 50% depending on the population and definition of MASLD. MASLD in PWH is likely multifactorial due to risk factors present in the general population such as metabolic syndrome, and features unique to HIV including systemic inflammation and ART. Statin therapy results in a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events in PWH. PWH are at high risk for MASLD. Screening PWH with metabolic syndrome features could enable earlier interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with MASLD in PWH.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
