ABSTRACT
Hospital admissions and deaths due to liver-related complications as result of chronic viral hepatitis are globally on the rise in HIV patients. However, a steady decline in liver-related hospitalizations and deaths has occurred at our HIV clinic in Madrid since year 2003. Hepatic complications are currently still responsible for 8.7% of all hospital admissions and one-third of in-hospital deaths, with hepatitis C virus infection by far the leading etiologic agent.
