BACKGROUND: Malnutrition, lipodystrophy, and dyslipidemia are prevalent characteristics in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with or without previous treatment. Such a clinical condition can lead to the hypothesis of the presence of hepatic steatosis with possible progression to fibrosis and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Notably, a low phase angle (PA), evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), is an independent prognostic marker of clinical progression and survival in HIV-infected patients.
AIM: To evaluate the relationship between PA and body composition with steatosis and hepatic fibrosis in HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected patients.
METHODS: A retrospective observational study by convenience sampling of coinfected HIV/HCV patients, in which all patients underwent transient elastography (Fibroscan) and BIA evaluation. Student's t test was used for group comparisons, and Spearman's or Pearson's correlation test was used when appropriate. The significance level was set at 5%, and analyses were performed using SPSS version 21.0.
RESULTS: Forty-three patients who received antiretroviral therapy met the inclusion criteria, and 23 (53.5%) were under treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs). There was no difference in PA between those who used PIs and those who did not (P = 0.635). There was no correlation between fibrosis grade and PA (P = 0.355) or lean mass (P = 0.378). There was a significant inverse correlation between the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and lean mass (P = 0.378), positive correlation between PA and lean mass (P = 0.378), and negative correlation between PA and fatty mass (P = 0.378), although the CAP and PA were not correlated. When evaluated by sex, no significant correlations were found.
CONCLUSION: PA determines the muscle function of HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, and the CAP values reinforce the association with lean mass, suggesting that patients require early nutritional interventions.
