OBJECTIVE: Study of the lipid profile in patients infected with HIV treated with different combinations of High Activity Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). Design and Methods A retrospective cohort study of the lipid profile in patients undergoing HAART. The study analyses the evolution of concentrations of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDLc) and HDL-cholesterol (HDLc) in a period of at least three years of treatment. From a total of 750 clinical cases analysed in Hospital Joaquim Urbano (Oporto, Portugal) 124 patients were selected for this study. RESULTS: After three years of treatment, we observed the development of dyslipidaemia by increases in TG (17%), TC (29%) and LDLc (9%), particularly in patients treated with a combination of drugs which included protease inhibitors (PI). Moreover, the Non-Nucleoside-Inhibitors of Reverse Transcriptase (NNRTI) were associated with better lipid profile. The increase of 46% in HDLc was the most surprising finding. CONCLUSIONS: he results indicate that patients with HAART have a more atherogenic lipidic profile with increased TC, LDLc and TG levels. Since the effectiveness of NNRTI is similar to that of PI, but with a smaller atherogenic profile, it should be the first choice drug to be selected in the HIV treatment. |
