Uso do score APRI na avaliação de doença hepática, após início de terapia antirretroviral, em pacientes portadores do HIV co-infectados com HCV versus monoinfectados por HIV

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: O impacto da terapia antirretroviral altamente ativa na progressão da fibrose hepática em pacientes co-infectados com HIV e hepatite C não está totalmente esclarecido. Marcadores não-invasivos de fibrose hepática podem ser considerados promissores no estadiamento e na monitorização da sua evolução. MÉTODOS: Um total de 24 pacientes, divididos em dois grupos: 12 monoinfectados por HIV e 12 co-infectados com HIV e HCV foram acompanhados de julho de 2008 a agosto de 2009, desde o início de HAART, a ca… Show more

“…The impact of the co-infection HIV/Hepatitis C is worrisome, a study reported the prevalence of the anti-HCV in bearers of HIV in 4.1% of the participants, being more representative among men, having as risk factors the use of injected drugs (15) . Commonly the co--infection between hepatitis C and HIV, can progress more quickly to a chronical hepatic disease such as fibrosis and cirrhosis (16) .…”

“…The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index (APRI) is one of the non-invasive markers for liver fibrosis and positively indicates the severity of HCV disease progression (Antonello et al 2010; Macias et al 2010). We divided the HCV-infected subjects into 2 sub-groups based on their APRI (APRI-low: APRI<0.68; APRI-high: APRI>0.68 (Fig.…”
