Liver abnormalities are common in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. These relate to 1) coincident exposure to hepatotropic viruses, 2) complications, either infectious, neoplastic, or iatrogenic, of the immunosuppressed state, or 3) nonspecific changes associated with chronic debilitating illness. We review the hepatobiliary manifestations of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and discuss our approach to the clinical evaluation of these problems.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
