Liver injury in HIV monoinfected patients: should we turn a blind eye to it?
With the advent of combined antiretroviral therapies, liver diseases have emerged as a key issue in the management of HIV infection. In addition to hepatitis co-infection, a large spectrum of liver diseases can affect the prognosis of HIV infection. Acute or progressive hepatic injuries require an accurate diagnosis for a better clinical management. Here, we provide an overview of the main liver diseases associated with HIV infection, which are not covered by the widely documented field of viral hepatitis co-infection.
