“…People who drink minimal amounts of alcohol are at a risk of causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver [13]. Risk factors for developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are high cholesterol and high triglycerides, which develop from a high intake of saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and cholesterol, all of which are found in junk foods [14,15]. Malnutrition is also a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.…”

Junk food refers to fast food, which are easy to make and easy to consume. They are low in nutritional value and have only lying fat in it causing ill effect on the health of consumer. Junk food contains high level of refined sugar, white flour, Trans fat, polyunsaturated fat salt and numerous food additives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and tartrazine, and lacking in protein, vitamin and fiber. It should be avoided, because of lack of energy, high cholesterol and poor concentration. It causes a lot of harmful effect on the body like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and various types of skin cancers.

“…Lower complement levels were closely correlated with liver injury and impaired liver aggregation (Zhang, et al, 2016). Castellanos et al (2011) found that C3 and C4 complements decreased significantly in cirrhotic patients. They suggested that the reduction by alternative pathway can be the result of an increased consumption or a decreased production due to liver insufficiency.…”

Majority of the population of Egypt has a heavy burden of liver diseases, mostly due to chronic infection with hepatitis C and B viruses (HCV and HBV) and Bilharzias that is considered as important environmental risk factor, which can go unnoticed until decades after infection, when liver damage becomes evident. This study is conducted to aid the Egyptian ministry of health to continue in the program of controlling HCV and Schistosomiasis to avoid patients suffering from failed treatments initiatives as in the past in treatment of schistosomasis by further investigations for diseases and its follow up. The study population included patients attending the Armed Forces Medical research Laboratories and Blood Bank. Individuals under investigation were divided into four groups comprising 30 individuals each. Group (1): included normal healthy individuals, group (2): included patients with chronic HCV, group (3): included patients with chronic HCV and group (4): included patients with Bilharzias (BILZ) infected by Schistosomiasismansoni .All patients (HCV, HBV and BILZ) groups were characterized by increase in all biochemical markers of liver function tests (AST, ALT and GGT) and reduction in albumin level in their sera as compared to the normal control group. The results also illustrated that in HCV and HBVgroups, there were significant reduction in serum levels of complement system C3 and C4, these effects were associated with significant increase in AFP level compared to normal control group. But HCV RNA viral load as measured by quantitative

“…Liver is the main metabolizing organ in the body [44]. It is mainly responsible for the immunologic equilibrium hence any disturbance in its function will compromise the immune state [45]. Treatment of HIV infection with highly antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may be limited by liver toxicity [46].…”

HIV/AIDS remains the greatest public health concern in the world. Nowadays HIV-AIDS is considered as a chronic disease due to the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy. This therapy has significantly improved the status of the infected population, making HIV a manageable illness. However, recent studies suggest that exposure to antiretroviral medications may have marked adverse effects, independent of HIV status. This review article gives a note on the demerits of the therapy, major complications and metabolic abnormalities that occur as a consequence of HAART. The effect of antiretroviral (ARV) therapies on the incidence of serious non-AIDS events (SNAEs) has also been considered.
