Brief Summary: Background

With the advances in treatment and clinical care individuals with human immunodeficiency virus HIV infection have experienced an increase in life expectancy Liver disease is common among HIV-infected patients due to the shared routes of transmission of HIV and viral hepatitis Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease NAFLD is the most common cause of elevated aminotransferases in HIV-monoinfected adults without HBV or HCV

Vibration-controlled transient elastography VCTE has been shown to have good sensitivity and specificity for assessment of liver fibrosis in HIV and viral hepatitis coinfected patients as well as in HIV-negative NASH population Controlled attenuation parameter CAP a novel physical parameter developed using the postulate that fat affects ultrasound propagation measures the ultrasound attenuation at the center frequency of the FibroScan
