ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gut dysfunction and resulting chronic low-grade inflammation have been linked to metabolic and chronic diseases in the general population. In this review, we present recently published studies of HIV-associated gut dysfunction and comorbidities including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and neurocognitive disease. RECENT FINDINGS:
Biomarkers of microbial translocation, dysbiosis, or intestinal epithelial integrity have been used to investigate relationships between HIV-associated gut dysfunction and metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurologic complications. Many studies point to worsened comorbidities associated with gut dysfunction in people with HIV (PWH), but some studies show mixed results, and thus, the data are still inconclusive and limited to surrogate biomarkers rather than direct intestinal assessments. Inflammation and immune activation stemming from changes in intestinal epithelial integrity and dysbiosis are present in PWH and relate to metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurologic complications of HIV. However, future investigations, especially future studies that directly assess intestinal pathology, are needed to investigate the direct contributory role of gastrointestinal dysfunction to comorbidities of HIV.Palavras-chave
