Metabolic and endocrine perturbations including insulin resistance, diabetes, and dyslipidemia have been of significant concern in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. HIV-infected individuals may be at risk of accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and
General objectives:
Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy in Mexican adults with dyslipidemia through the oral route use of L-carnitine + atorvastatin in comparison with the use of Atorvastatin, after six months of treatment.
Evaluate the safety of the medicines under study.
Hypothesis:
The combined use
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
Background: HIV-infected subjects are at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) partly in relation with atherogenic dyslipidemia including increased triglycerides (TG) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). Mechanisms of HIV-associated dyslipidemia are complex, involving HIV itself and some antiretrovirals
The mortality induced by HIV has dropped significantly due to effective antiretroviral therapy. Epidemiological data suggest a less than 5% 10-year mortality for patients treated with HAART. As a result of the reduction in early AIDS-related deaths, HIV has become a chronic disease manifesting the
Physicians in charge of HIV-infected patients are increasingly being faced to previously unrecognized comorbid conditions such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events, loss of renal function, osteopenia/osteoporosis and bone fractures or non-AIDS-defining cancers (1-4).
The incidence of these
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
This is a phase IV, multicenter,, prospective, randomised, crossover, double blind, placebo-controlled and proof of concept clinical trial. The trial was conducted in a total sample of 60 patients (30 patients per group), which assures adequate power to detect differences. This study is adequate to
Low high density lipoprotein (HDL) and a lipid pattern consistent with atherogenic dyslipidemia are also common in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infected population and is likely due, in large part, to the chronic inflammatory effect of HIV infection per se. While highly active
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the virological efficacy, as measured by the proportion of patients with plasma HIV-RNA below the limit of detection (<50 copies/mL), of two ARV regimens; patients are randomized to remain on regimens containing N(t)RTI(s) + PI/r or switch to Raltegravir
Abnormal liver enzymes are frequently seen in those with HIV. Although many of these individuals are co-infected with HBV or HCV, histology in HIV patients with abnormal liver enzymes in the absence of viral hepatitis has not been explored. HAART has significantly improved the survival in those
Atorvastin (Lipitor) is a commonly used drug approved by the FDA for treatment of dyslipidemias. It is a relatively safe drug to use with periodic monitoring.
Eligibility critera:
- age 18-60, females, as a marjority of lupus patients are female
