HIV/HAART Toxicities: Lipid Abnormalities
• hypertriglyceridemia; risk of pancreatitis
• low HDL, high LDL
• Mechanism unclear
• Protease Inhibitors appear to be one of several risk factors
• growing evidence of increased risk of heart disease in patients on HAART

HIV and HAART: Association with Insulin Resistance
• progression to frank diabetes mellitus possible
• Protease inhibitors (PI’s) and efavirenz implicated but mechanism unclear
• monitor with fasting glucose values• improvement often seen when PI’s, efavirenz
are replaced by other agents• some success w/ Metformin

Management of the HIV-infected patient with Diabetes: Peripheral Neuropathy
• Distal Symmetric Peripheral Neuropathy (DSPN, or PN) a common complication of diabetes, HIV infection, and HIV medications
• d4T, ddI, ddC most closely associated with this complication
• early switching out of these agents may result in improvement
![Page 13: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Management of the patient with co-morbid HIV Infection and Diabetes Mellitus: Summary
• Protease Inhibitors, efavirenz can exacerbate Insulin resistance
• monitor glucose values, Hgb A1c closely following initiation of HAART
• intensify diabetic regimen if necessary no significant interactions between diabetes agents and antiretrovirals
• beware of additive potential for peripheral neuropathy from NRTIs (esp. d4T, ddI) and from HIV itself
![Page 14: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Management of the Patient with HIV infection and Chronic
Renal Disease• NRTIs renally cleared; renal dosing based on
creatinine clearance available for these agents• If etiology of renal impairment unclear, consider
diagnosis of HIV-associated Nephropathy (HIVAN)– predilection for young african-american men– rapid progression to renal failure possible– treatment: steroids, ACE-I, HAART
![Page 15: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Management of the Patient co-infected with HIV and hepatitis B
• Two NRTIs - lamivudine (3TC; Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) have activity against hepatitis B
• Hepatitis B commonly develops resistance (though slowly) to HBV when lamivudine is the only active drug deployed against it
• Usefulness of combining lamivudine and tenofovir in these patients under investigation
• may want to avoid ritonavir, nevirapine due to their potential for hepatotoxicity
![Page 16: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Management of the Patient co-infected with HIV and Hepatitis C
![Page 17: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Treatment of Hepatitis C
Options & Considerations
![Page 18: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Treatment of Hepatitis C:Goals of treatment
• Ideal: Sustained Virologic Response (SVR): persistent absence of circulating virus
• SVR associated with regression of fibrosis
• often some benefit in reduction of rate of progression of fibrosis/cirrhosis even in absence of SVR
![Page 19: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Meta-analysis: interferon alone vs interferon + ribavirin
• HIV-negative patients• Effect of interferon alfa
plus ribavirin combination therapy versus interferon alfa alone on the risk of not having a sustained virological response 6 months after treatment
BMJ 2001;323:1151-1155
![Page 20: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Variables that strongly affect response to treatment
• genotype– type 1: lower response rate than types 2 or 3
• co-infection with HIV– lower response rate in setting of coinfection
with HIV
![Page 21: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• N=51 coinfected patients
• median Knodell score 11.5
• 55% with active cirrhosis
• Treated with interferon-alpha 2b + ribavirin for 12 months
• 29% discontinued treatment
• no adverse effects on HIV disease progression
• End of Treatment Response (ETR) = absence of HCV RNA at end of treatment
• Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) = absence of HCV RNA at 6 mos post-therapy

Response Rates to Therapy in the coinfected patient are
disappointing and come with significant toxicities
High rates of discontinuation in early trials due to adverse events
![Page 24: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Discouraging Prognosis for Coinfected Patients on IFN + RBV
• Diminished SVR• High level of toxicity leading to high rates of
discontinuation
• Is PEGylated INF + RBV the answer?– Improved pharmacokinetics– improved response to treatment in HIV(-) patients

How well does PEG-IFN + RBV Work for Coinfected Patients?
The $64,000 Question
![Page 28: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Therapy Options for the patient co-infected with HIV & HCV:
Summary
• PEG-IFN + RBV appears to have superior efficacy over IFN + RBV
• PEGylated regimens probably just as toxic, but discontinuation rates decreasing as we improve our abilities to manage adverse effects
• response rates for genotype 1 still sub-optimal
![Page 29: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Controversies in the Management of HIV/HCV
co-infected Patients

Which patients are candidates for therapy?
• numerous contraindications
• serum markers do not reliably correlate with progression of disease
• liver biopsy generally required to assess rate of disease progression
![Page 31: Management of the HIV-infected patient with co-morbid diseases Christopher Behrens, MD Northwest AIDS Education & Training Center.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949ee3ef/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• uncontrolled HIV disease accelerates course of HCV disease
• low CD4 count correlates with poor response to HCV therapy
• HIV is usually the more clinically aggressive disease
Which Infection should be treated first?
• HCV-infected patients have worse response to HAART than HCV-negative patients
• many HAART medications hepatoxic
• HCV treatment is for just 6-12 months whereas HIV treatment is for life
• reinforcing toxicities of HAART and HCV regimens
Treat HIV First Treat HCV First

The HIV-infected Patient with Active Substance Abuse
• Active substance abuse associated with reduced adherence to antiretroviral therapy in most, though not all, studies
• dangerous interactions between protease inhibitors and some recreational drugs (esp. methamphetamines)
• Try to treat substance abuse before initiation of HAART if possible
• however, active SA not a contraindication to initiation of HAART
