Abstract

The present study aimed at evaluating the nutritional state impact on liver detoxification function in patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus under antiretroviral drugs. We performed a retrospective and prospective transversal survey on the patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus, under antiretroviral drugs at the Bertoua day hospital. The retrospective period of our survey went from October 24, 2014 to February 24, 2014 (4 months) and the prospective shutter of the survey went from February 24, 2014 to August 24, 2014 (6 months), a total period of 10 months. We also analysed the socio-demographics parameters (Age and Sex), Biological parameters (HIV type, CD4, Transaminases) and the therapeutics parameters (Therapeutic protocol, Evolution). The hepatic affection has been judged by the remarkable increase of the rate of transaminases (>3N) and by the appearance of hypersensitivity signs (Skin rashes, Fever…). During this survey, 38 hepatic-toxicity cases caused by the intake of ARV drugs were collected. We included 12 men (31.58%) and 26 women (68.42%) with a sex-ratio of 0.46 in favor of the women. The average age was 45.68±13.13 year with age ranging between 10 to 65 years. Age group of 50 years and above was most represented with a percentage of 42.10. The majority of the patients were infected by the HIV 1 (86.85%) against 10.52% for the HIV 2 and 2.63% for the HIV 1+2. The most prescribed therapy was the association of 2 INTI+1 INNTI (Tenofovir+Lamivudine+Nevirapine) and the AIDS stage represented 7.89%. Prior to the antiretroviral therapy, the 38 patients had normal transaminases that followed modifications of the initial therapeutic protocol after a remarkable increase during the antiretroviral therapy. We noted during this survey that the hepatotoxicity intervention of our patients under ARV drugs was correlated to their Body Mass Index (BMI) that allowed us to evaluate the nutritional state of our patients. The intervention of the hepatotoxicity during the antiretroviral therapy, among the HIV patients having a good nutritional state (normal BMI), was very weak in the absence of the predisposing factors.
