Résumé

Hepatotoxicity due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has gained prominent attention since it can be affected by many factors. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatotoxicity and related risk factors of severe hepatotoxicity following HAART initiation. A total of 100 drug-naive patients aged between 18 and 61 years were recruited. They were put on Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz [TDF/3TC/EFV] (64), Zidovudine/ Lamivudine/Efavirenz [AZT/3TC/EFV] (22), and Zidovudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine AZT/3TC/NVP (14) and monitored for 6months and blood samples drawn.Alanine aminotransferases (ALT), aspartate aminotransferases (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) wereanalyzed by enzymatic methods and used to classify levels of hepatotoxicity. A total of 37(37%) and 49(49%) patients presented with hepatotoxicity while 15% and 28% had severe hepatotoxicity at 4 and 24 weeks respectively. Serum levels of all enzymes increased significantly (p = 0.001) with increased treatment duration. Univariate analysis revealed that the risk factor of developing severe hepatotoxicity was significantly greater in patients < 30years (p = 0.02), males(p = 0.04), low BMI (p = 0.02), low monthly income (p = 0.01) earners, and patients on AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen (p = 0.01). While multivariate analysis at p < 0.09 showed that age 30-40 years, low BMI, low monthly income, and the use of AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen were independent risk factors. Low BMI, age group of 30-40years, low monthly income, and the use of AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen identified as risk factors for the development of severe hepatotoxicity should be considered as an important strategy by clinicians in preventing the hepatotoxicity.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Hepatotoxicity due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has gained prominent attention since it can be affected by many factors. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatotoxicity and related risk factors of severe hepatotoxicity following HAART initiation.
METHODS METHODS
A total of 100 drug-naive patients aged between 18 and 61 years were recruited. They were put on Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz [TDF/3TC/EFV] (64), Zidovudine/ Lamivudine/Efavirenz [AZT/3TC/EFV] (22), and Zidovudine/Lamivudine/Nevirapine AZT/3TC/NVP (14) and monitored for 6months and blood samples drawn.Alanine aminotransferases (ALT), aspartate aminotransferases (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) wereanalyzed by enzymatic methods and used to classify levels of hepatotoxicity.
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 37(37%) and 49(49%) patients presented with hepatotoxicity while 15% and 28% had severe hepatotoxicity at 4 and 24 weeks respectively. Serum levels of all enzymes increased significantly (p = 0.001) with increased treatment duration. Univariate analysis revealed that the risk factor of developing severe hepatotoxicity was significantly greater in patients < 30years (p = 0.02), males(p = 0.04), low BMI (p = 0.02), low monthly income (p = 0.01) earners, and patients on AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen (p = 0.01). While multivariate analysis at p < 0.09 showed that age 30-40 years, low BMI, low monthly income, and the use of AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen were independent risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Low BMI, age group of 30-40years, low monthly income, and the use of AZT + 3TC + NVP regimen identified as risk factors for the development of severe hepatotoxicity should be considered as an important strategy by clinicians in preventing the hepatotoxicity.
