Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in HIV‐Infected Patients Referred to a Metabolic Clinic: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Predictors

Abstract

NAFLD is common among HIV-infected persons who have the traditional risk factors for NAFLD (elevations in serum alanine level, male sex, and increased waist circumference) apparent. Exposure to nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors was an independent risk factor for NAFLD, with an 11% increase in the odds ratio for each year of use.
