SPECTRUM OF LIVER DISEASE IN PATIENTS LIVING WITH HIV

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 假设：肝病现在是艾滋病毒感染得到良好控制的患者发病和死亡的主要原因之一。 因此，了解这些患者的肝病谱非常重要，包括那些失访的患者。 这些数据对于规划未来的研究非常重要。 具体目的：描述HIV感染患者的肝病谱。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. HYPOTHESIS: Liver disease is now one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients who have well controlled HIV infection. It is therefore important to understand the spectrum of liver disease in these patients, including those who have been lost to follow up. These data are important for planning future studies. SPECIFIC AIMS: To describe the spectrum of liver disease in those patients living with HIV infection.
