Abstract

DRNOVSEK, Mónica Lucía et al. Endocrine and metabolic changes in outpatients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Rev. argent. endocrinol. metab. [online]. 2016, vol.53, n.4, pp.121-127. ISSN 1851-3034.

The human immunodeficiency virus causes a chronic systemic disease. Treatment with highly active antiretroviral drugs has changed the evolution of the disease, and increasing the rate of survival. However, due to the disease and/or the antiretroviral drugs, there are other multiple chronic diseases that compromise the quality of life of the patients even more. The aim of this study is to present endocrine and metabolic changes in outpatients with human immunodeficiency virus, and present an update of the related literature.

Keywords : Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; Human immunodeficiency virus; Endocrine metabolic diseases.
