    (Wolters Kluwer, 2023) Gawrieh, Samer; Lake, Jordan E.; Debroy, Paula; Sjoquist, Julia A.; Robison, Montreca; Tann, Mark; Akisik, Fatih; Bhamidipalli, Surya S.; Saha, Chandan K.; Zachary, Kimon; Robbins, Gregory K.; Gupta, Samir K.; Chung, Raymond T.; Chalasani, Naga; Corey, Kathleen E.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine
    Background aims: The current prevalence of fatty liver disease (FLD) due to alcohol-associated (AFLD) and nonalcoholic (NAFLD) origins in US persons with HIV (PWH) is not well defined. We prospectively evaluated the burden of FLD and hepatic fibrosis in a diverse cohort of PWH. Approach results: Consenting participants in outpatient HIV clinics in 3 centers in the US underwent detailed phenotyping, including liver ultrasound and vibration-controlled transient elastography for controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness measurement. The prevalence of AFLD, NAFLD, and clinically significant and advanced fibrosis was determined. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated with the risk of NAFLD. Of 342 participants, 95.6% were on antiretroviral therapy, 93.9% had adequate viral suppression, 48.7% (95% CI 43%-54%) had steatosis by ultrasound, and 50.6% (95% CI 45%-56%) had steatosis by controlled attenuation parameter ≥263 dB/m. NAFLD accounted for 90% of FLD. In multivariable analysis, old age, higher body mass index, diabetes, and higher alanine aminotransferase, but not antiretroviral therapy or CD4 + cell count, were independently associated with increased NAFLD risk. In all PWH with fatty liver, the frequency of liver stiffness measurement 8-12 kPa was 13.9% (95% CI 9%-20%) and ≥12 kPa 6.4% (95% CI 3%-11%), with a similar frequency of these liver stiffness measurement cutoffs in NAFLD. Conclusions: Nearly half of the virally-suppressed PWH have FLD, 90% of which is due to NAFLD. A fifth of the PWH with FLD has clinically significant fibrosis, and 6% have advanced fibrosis. These data lend support to systematic screening for high-risk NAFLD in PWH.

    MASLD in persons with HIV is associated with high cardiometabolic risk as evidenced by altered advanced lipoprotein profiles and targeted metabolomics
    (Springer Nature, 2024-10-17) Lin, Kung-Hung; Vilar-Gomez, Eduardo; Corey, Kathleen E.; Connelly, Margery A.; Gupta, Samir K.; Lake, Jordan E.; Chalasani, Naga; Gawrieh, Samer; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in persons with HIV (PWH). The lipidomic and metabolomic alterations contributing to this risk are poorly understood. We aimed to characterize the advanced lipoprotein and targeted metabolomic profiles in PWH and assess if the presence and severity of MASLD influence these profiles. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of a prospectively enrolled multicenter cohort. PWH without alcohol abuse or known liver disease underwent vibration-controlled transient elastography for controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM). Lipidomic and metabolomic profiling was undertaken with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Hepatic steatosis was defined as CAP ≥ 263 dB/m and clinically significant fibrosis (CSF) as LSM ≥ 8 kPa. Logistic regression models assessed associations between MASLD, CSF and lipidomic and metabolic parameters. Results: Of 190 participants (71% cisgender male, 96% on antiretroviral therapy), 58% had MASLD and 12% CSF. Mean (SD) age was 48.9 (12.1) years and body mass index (BMI) 29.9 (6.4) kg/m2. Compared to PWH without MASLD (controls), PWH with MASLD had lower HDL-C but higher total triglyceride, VLDL-C, branched-chain amino acids, GlycA, trimethylamine N-oxide levels, Lipoprotein-Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Risk Indices. There were no significant differences in these parameters between participants with MASLD with or without CSF. In a multivariable regression analysis, MASLD was independently associated with changes in most of these parameters after adjustment for age, gender, race/ethnicity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, BMI, and lipid lowering medications use. Conclusions: MASLD in PWH is independently associated with altered advanced lipoprotein and targeted metabolic profiles, indicating a higher CVD risk in this population.

    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is not associated with impairment in health-related quality of life in virally suppressed persons with human immune deficiency virus
    (Public Library of Science, 2023-02-10) Gawrieh, Samer; Corey, Kathleen E.; Lake, Jordan E.; Samala, Niharika; Desai, Archita P.; Debroy, Paula; Sjoquist, Julia A.; Robison, Montreca; Tann, Mark; Akisik, Fatih; Bhamidipalli, Surya S.; Saha, Chandan K.; Zachary, Kimon; Robbins, Gregory K.; Gupta, Samir K.; Chung, Raymond T.; Chalasani, Naga; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in persons with HIV (PWH) (HIV-NAFLD). It is unknown if HIV-NAFLD is associated with impairment in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). We examined HRQOL in PWH with and without NAFLD, compared HRQOL in HIV- versus primary NAFLD, and determined factors associated with HRQOL in these groups. Prospectively enrolled 200 PWH and 474 participants with primary NAFLD completed the Rand SF-36 assessment which measures 8 domains of HRQOL. Individual domain scores were used to create composite physical and mental component summary scores. Univariate and multivariate analyses determined variables associated with HRQOL in PWH and in HIV- and primary NAFLD. In PWH, 48% had HIV-NAFLD, 10.2% had clinically significant fibrosis, 99.5% were on antiretroviral therapy, and 96.5% had HIV RNA <200 copies/ml. There was no difference in HRQOL in PWH with or without NAFLD. Diabetes, non-Hispanic ethnicity, and nadir CD4 counts were independently associated with impaired HRQOL in PWH. In HIV-NAFLD, HRQOL did not differ between participants with or without clinically significant fibrosis. Participants with HIV-NAFLD compared to those with primary NAFLD were less frequently cisgender females, White, more frequently Hispanic, had lower BMI and lower frequency of obesity and diabetes. HRQOL of individuals with HIV-NAFLD was not significantly different from those with primary NAFLD. In conclusion, in virally suppressed PWH, HRQOL is not different between participants with or without HIV-NAFLD. HRQOL is not different between HIV-NAFLD and primary NAFLD.

    Risk of Incident Diabetes Mellitus, Weight Gain, and Their Relationships With Integrase Inhibitor-Based Initial Antiretroviral Therapy Among Persons With Human Immunodeficiency Virus in the United States and Canada
    (Oxford University Press, 2021) Rebeiro, Peter F.; Jenkins, Cathy A.; Bian, Aihua; Lake, Jordan E.; Bourgi, Kassem; Moore, Richard D.; Horberg, Michael A.; Matthews, W. Christopher; Silverberg, Michael J.; Thorne, Jennifer; Mayor, Angel M.; Lima, Viviane D.; Palella, Frank J., Jr.; Saag, Michael S.; Althoff, Keri N.; Gill, M. John; Wong, Cherise; Klein, Marina B.; Crane, Heidi M.; Marconi, Vincent C.; Shepherd, Bryan E.; Sterling, Timothy R.; Koethe, John R.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is associated with greater weight gain among persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), though metabolic consequences, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), are unclear. We examined the impact of initial cART regimen and weight on incident DM in a large North American HIV cohort (NA-ACCORD). Methods: cART-naive adults (≥18 years) initiating INSTI-, protease inhibitor (PI)-, or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimens from January 2007 through December 2017 who had weight measured 12 (±6) months after treatment initiation contributed time until clinical DM, virologic failure, cART regimen switch, administrative close, death, or loss to follow-up. Multivariable Cox regression yielded adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident DM by cART class. Mediation analyses, with 12-month weight as mediator, similarly adjusted for all covariates. Results: Among 22 884 eligible individuals, 47% started NNRTI-, 30% PI-, and 23% INSTI-based cART with median follow-up of 3.0, 2.3, and 1.6 years, respectively. Overall, 722 (3%) developed DM. Persons starting INSTIs vs NNRTIs had incident DM risk (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, .92-1.48]), similar to PI vs NNRTI initiators (HR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.07-1.51]). This effect was most pronounced for raltegravir (HR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.06-1.91]) vs NNRTI initiators. The INSTI-DM association was attenuated (HR, 1.03 [95% CI, .71-1.49] vs NNRTIs) when accounting for 12-month weight. Conclusions: Initiating first cART regimens with INSTIs or PIs vs NNRTIs may confer greater risk of DM, likely mediated through weight gain.
